- tranquility, nature and wild-life all on your doorstep ?

- a break from TV ?

- a place to just relax or even meditate ?

- time to yourself ?

- walks or bike rides amid beautiful, picturesque scenery ?

- rediscover essential life values ?

Here's the spot of your dreams ! Come and enjoy our cosy and romantic holiday cottage “La Taupinière du Gers” with its rustic charm, in the midst of fields, forests and the rolling hills of Gascony !

Cottage description :

La Taupinière (in English : The Molehill) is a very cosy, fully equipped little cottage, completely dressed with wood, nested in a beautiful garden with large pond.

You will reach the cottage by private stairs, that are leading you to the large covered terrace, where you will rest and have your meals, most of the time. From there, through the double glass door, you get inside your lovely nest. The "American" kitchen has anything you might need (ceramic hob, real oven, toaster, micro-wave, dish washer, ...) and opens on the lounge with its lunch-corner and its international library. The bathroom has a corner bath tub and separated toilets. There is a small laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and ironing board, etc ...

The sleeping room with a double bed takes place on the mezzanine, where you will also find a flat screen with DVD player and a range of hundred films any kind, and very large wall cupboards.

The second room is designed in the shape of a pretty Eastern house made of wood, is a free-standing structure, and is located just opposite the terrace of the cottage. This house does not have any other equipment than twin beds, heater, ceiling fan, shelves and a mini stereo. Its occupants will benefit from the equipment of the main gite. Kids are usually very proud to have their own little house ;-)

The 12m2 terrace of the main cottage, made of wood and roofed, is equipped with a table and 4 chairs in acacia, is illuminated at night, and is overlooking the beautiful one hectare garden and its vast pond, abounding with lotus, water lilies, frogs, water hens and other dragonflies…

By good weather, and if the atmosphere is very clear, perhaps will you have the pleasant surprise to discover in the backdrop the very majestic Pyrenees with their snow-covered tops… 

If you prefer so, you can leave us the charge of the end of stay cleaning, for the price of 40€, to be paid cash on the spot. .

If you have any question, please feel free to ask !

Hope to welcome you soon in our little paradise ;-)

Getting around

Our department is part of the region "Gascogne", famous for its gastronomy, and especially for the foie gras, the duck breast, the wine of Madiran and the excellent Armagnac, one of the finest spirits whose reputation is well known by the connoisseurs. Not far from home, you will find a thousand possible activities for children and parents: walking, cycling or horseback - petanque - outdoor pools - festivals - castles - tennis - golf ... This will be for sure a great catch up with nature and fresh air ! WARNING : Our beautiful pond is deep and not fenced. Please keep an eye on toddlers and young children ! Owners decline responsability in case of accident !

Interaction with guest

As we are living at the back of "La Taupinière", we will welcome you there. Once you're settled in your lovely nest, you won't hear of us if you prefer so, but we still will be available in case you would need anything, or just for a chat. A part of the garden is especially dedicated to you, but you can of course enjoy our superb pond and the rest of the ground too, where you may come across us and our pets. We love animals and will welcome your good doggie for free. An extra charge of 20 euros per week is required for 2 pets, and 50 euros per week for a maximum of 3 pets, to be paid on the spot in cash. We rely on your common sense to ensure harmony between our different companions as well as cleanliness both in house and garden.
