Vacation Rental Description
SAVOUR THE BEST OF GASCONY The pace is slow, the food sublime, the local’s friendly. There is a beguiling corner of southwest France that politicians refer to as la France profonde; where stressed Parisians dream of buying their holiday homes. The landscape is as unscarred today as when d’Artagnan, one of Alexandre Dumas’ famed musketeers, walked his native land. This is Gascony. The sleepy villages, vineyards, maize and sunflower fields that define the countryside are still free of the crowds of tourists that flock to neighbouring regions. There are no motorways, no power stations or industry, and no well-known tourist honey pots; it has remained a rural backwater, undisturbed by modernity. The region is clearly defined by its hearty food and drink; duck is the culinary king, foie gras has attained reverential status, and Armagnac, cognac’s earthier cousin, is the local digéstif. Life is slow and relaxed and it is little wonder that locals enjoy the longest life expectancy in France.PONTACQ is a recently and tastefully renovated farmhouse offering the opportunity to get off the 'stress merry-go-round' and leave any problems at the gate, to relax in peaceful surroundings. It offers you well equipped, secure and comfortable accommodation. It is in an ideal location from which you can launch your exploration of this beautiful and historic region and begin to discover the hidden secrets of rural France. To savour its amenities, heritage, tradition, cuisine and beauty.
The house is situated outside the village of Panjas 15km north of Nogaro and west of the Market town of Eauze, Gers. 90min from the Atlantic beaches and the Pyrenees, two hours from Spain and the airports of both Toulouse and Biarritz. One hour from Pau (Midi Pyrenees) airport with budget flights by Ryanair. It is located on the Route D'Armagnac lined with vines that produce the wines and Armagnac of the region. Set amidst the beautiful rolling countryside that typifies this heart of Gascony. Positioned outside this typically styled and quiet old French village with local shops including the best boulangerie in the area, two butchers, two food stores, a seven day shop, hairdressers, post office, antique shops, restaurant, bar and tennis courts in Estang 3 min drive. Greater selection of shops and major supermarkets, an excellent golf course in Eauze, market town and capital of the Armagnac region, 20 km (16 mins by car). Nogaro 15km. (12mins by car) provides additional supermarkets and retail choice together with its light aero club and formula two race track. All three have arenas with regular events including Course Landaise. www.courselandaise.org/calendrier.php
Facilities
Seclusion, relaxation, peace and quiet comes as standard on Pontacq as you enjoy the pool and gardens, surrounded by the glory of the French countryside. Enjoy the convivial atmosphere of alfresco dining after a rewarding day of enjoying yourself. Try the many fetes though-out the holiday season together with music festivals including the internationally acclaimed Jazz festival at Marciac (1st 2 weeks in August) The country and western festival at Mirande and Pentecote at Vic Fezansac with its International Salsa Festival in July (more detail bellow). There are many local markets and regular night markets where the locals buy, dance and party through the night.
