More about Le Gers

Le Gers provides a wonderful base to make your holiday as busy or relaxed as you chose and those needing to revive flagging spirits need only sit on the terrace and watch the sun go down.

Situated in a no through lane with little traffic, it has many country walks straight from the house across fields, by the river or through woods.

Quiet lanes and countryside provide many opportunities for walking, hiking and cycling (there is a gentleman's bike in the barn).
