Name: Manoir Gascon
Brand: Pure France
SKU: 2907

Introduction

Featured in The Sunday Times as one of Europe’s Top 50 villas.

Manoir Gascon is not just a villa, it’s an experience… Imagine driving down a quiet country lane in rural Armagnac, then down a 150-metre drive, and arriving at a typical 17th Century Gascon manor house, surrounded by 17 acres of gardens, woodlands and organic hay fields. Old stone walls around a formal courtyard…an original pigeonnier…a wisteria covered arbor…an ancient wooden verandah…gardens dotted with lavender…

Manoir Gascon is designed to thrill the senses and to fully transport you to this quintessentially charming part of South West France.

The manoir is beautifully furnished with contemporary pieces, antiques and art. Special care has been taken to maintain the original and charming patina. Here it’s all about warmth, character and authenticity. The two historic ‘salons’ are at the heart of the house and perfect places to gather at any time of the year. Outdoors, two charming dining areas set the scene beautifully for lavish alfresco meals of foie gras, duck, cheese and other local specialties, and a heated swimming pool and games barn keep everyone entertained.

The setting is private and rural and yet a vibrant Gascon village is just a short walk away or bike ride along a country lane. Besides a restaurant-café at its centre, it also has a bakery, butcher, pharmacy and even a tennis club (rackets provided back at the manoir) as well as a striking red bullring which is over one hundred years old and the stage for the traditional ‘Course Landaise’.

This is The Gers, the heart of Gascony, Musketeers, foie gras and Grand Armagnac country. This is the real France where guests can immerse themselves in authentic fortified villages, market towns, historic and cultural attractions and some of the best food and wine in the world.

If you need a large supermarket or other restaurants you need only travel to Cazaubon (10km), Nogaro (17km) or Eauze (20km) and there are some great weekly markets in Eauze, Barbotan-les-Thermes and Vic Fezensac. Other typical local towns and villages worth visiting are La Bastide d’Armagnac, Aire sur L'adour and Euginie les Bains. The area is also famous for the historical racing event held at the Nogaro circuit as well as the biggest jazz festival in Europe held at Marciac. Even Bordeaux, Toulouse and Pau (vintage motor racing in May) are within easy reach.

Location

The local village is just a short walk along a country lane from Manoir Gascon. A vibrant village with a bakery, butchers, local pharmacy and a very welcoming restaurant-café where you can go for a morning coffee, lunch or evening meal. One particularly striking highlight of the village is the bull-ring, over one hundred years old, where you can watch the ‘Course Landaise’, a slightly different version of Spanish bullfighting.

Golf lovers can play at Golf de Guinlet (23km) or various other courses in the region and cyclists will appreciate the opportunities to explore the beautiful area by bike, a popular pastime in Gers and Gascony.

On a Thursday be sure to visit Eauze (19km), the capital of Armagnac, where you will find a glorious market selling fruit, vegetables, cheese from the Pyrenees, seafood from nearby Atlantic coast and local sausage made with figs, nuts and herbs as well as the famous ‘Eau de Vie’. If you have a taste for Armagnac, there are plenty of opportunities to visit local producers and guided tours as well as tastings can be arranged.

Formula One fans must visit Nogaro (16km) where you can hire racing cars for the day to drive around the track.

Other noteworthy villages and towns in the area include the thermal spas at Barbotan Les Thermes (13km), a thirteenth century fortified village, Labastide d’Armagnac (16km) and Marciac (50km), home to a well established jazz festival.

If you do wish to venture towards the coast, then the Atlantic coast is within a two hour drive – the area is a paradise for surfers, especially in places such as Biarritz (150km) and further south, or you can explore the beautiful sand dunes and pine forests of the more remote parts of this coastline further north.

The Region

A relatively new addition to France, the Midi-Pyrénées was created to surround the cultural capital of Toulouse in the late 1970s. You might think that its relative youth would mean the Midi-Pyrénées is short on character or identity, but remember, this is France we’re talking about – the whole country is steeped in history and tradition.

Encompassing parts of Gascony, Languedoc, the Gers and several others, you’ll get a varied slice of the whole French experience here, not least if you stay at one of our beautiful chateaux in the Midi-Pyrénées

A marvellous, fantastic, wonderful extended family holiday! Everything you could want and more - the house, the pool, the grounds, the "olympics" barn! Great area and great advice from the hosts! Can't wait to return.

Anonymous
Manoir Gascon is an amazing house in a lovely location. Having visited a fair number of houses in France over a nearly 20 year period it ranks right at the top. The owners were a delightful contact for any concerns and most welcoming. Of course they come from the best part of the world! Delightful!

Abbi
We cannot thank the hosts enough for being so kind and accommodating. Manoir Gascon is the dream house! We and our friends and family had the most magical week stay here. We don't want to leave and will definitely be back in the future! Thank you for everything.

We had a lovely week in your fantastic house, celebrating Anna-Maria's 40th birthday. It has been very relaxing and we have enjoyed trips to the village and meals at the hotel. We've sampled lots of local cheeses.

Thank you guys for an amazing week!
Beautiful weather, very hot, beautiful house, garden. Excellent food, wine and company. Thanks Steve + Aly for looking after the little ones so we could get out for champagne. Wish we could stay for longer, it has gone too fast.

William
Amazing time!
Very fully equipped to spacious country house standards - plainly a labour of love. Situation quiet and well placed. Replete with indoor and outdoor sporting gear: darts, table tennis, bicycles, badminton, boules, large pool. All spacious well chosen and well built. A admirable project by a knowledgeable perfectionist.

Home away from home.
Thank you so much for this magnificent house! It is stunning. My favourite room is the one with purple couches, so nice to read in.

Peter
Dreamy place, amazing hosts.
Thank you for an utterly delightful and restful week celebrating an 87th birthday. Alison and Steven could not have been more thoughtful and helpful. What a perfect time we all had.

Anna
A relaxing, rustic but luxurious holiday.
We had an absolutely superb stay in Manoir Gascon. We were a large family group with a range of ages from 10 - 75, but the manor house catered for everyone with its ample reception rooms, games barn and pool.
The manor house is so beautiful and has lot of French rustic charm, but was also very peaceful so we had a truly relaxing stay drinking wine by the pool!
The village is a short walk down a country lane and we had a delicious Sunday lunch in the village hotel.
We hope to stay at Manoir Gascon again some time soon!

The Curts Family
Thank You! Five years ago, my brother was diagnosed with colon cancer. We decided to make a goal with something to look forward to. He said "let's do a trip to France!"
Well, we finally made it but the pressure was on to find just the right place to relax and enjoy each other. Manoir Gascon was the perfect place. It was beyond our expectations and any photo on the internet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with the best of everything - Sheets, soap, dishes, lounge chairs - it is all exquisite! can't wait to come back!

Ruth

Tess
The most marvellous time
Thank you so very much for letting us rent out your stunning house! We had the most marvellous time. Your furniture was so comfortable and I loved all of your paintings too - have made a few notes of some of the artists for my gallery here in Dublin! The kitchen too was so well equipped and it was great to have multiple indoor and outdoor areas for children and adults alike so that everyone had enough space and peace and quiet. Thanks too for the excellent local recommendations. You're so lucky to have lovely Patrick and Hotel de Commerce on your doorstep - many a fine lunch we had there, as well as excellent meals at La Baside in Barbotan les Thermes and simple pizza in the stunning square in La Bastide d'Armagnac.

James
More than I was hoping for.
I am writing to thank you for our wonderful holiday at your gorgeous property. Manoir Gascon is a home from home and everything and more than I imagined and was hoping for. The house, the setting, the furniture and art are all stunning. Thank you.

Robert
We had such a fantastic time at Manoir Gascon
The pictures on the website don't do it justice! We were all blown away by the house and the pool and the beautiful grounds. We barely left the house as we loved it so much although we all loved the Hotel du Commerce in Estang too. We had coffee there every morning and dinner twice.
Rosie was great and really helpful as well as an excellent babysitter. Almost as soon as we arrived we were talking about trying to come back!

Henrietta
Lucky to be back next year!
We loved staying at your wonderful home - we had a heavenly time and we are already hoping we are lucky enough to come again next year. The weather was perfect a couple of cooler days which were very welcome as reprieve from the heat.
