Photos and Description of the Gers vacation cottage rental Self catering in quiet rural setting with salt water pool.

Set in the golden triangle of Armagnac country in Gascony, Le Vieux Presbytère nestles into the hillside on the edge of the hamlet of Noulens. This sleepy village is surrounded by vineyards, fields of sunflowers and maize and has good views to the Pyrenees. The barn attached to Le Presbytère has been converted into two beautiful self-contained holiday apartments, keeping some of the French charm but with all modern amenities. They are privately situated at the end of the owner's property, sleep a maximum of 6 and 4 and are surrounded by a pretty garden with fruit trees and an avenue of pine trees just next to the gites is the 10 x 5m salt-water swimming pool, which is alarmed. The two gites may be rented together for a larger group of friends or family. Meals (or a barbeque) can be prepared and delivered to your gite. L’Atelier, for bed and breakfast, is part of the main house with its own entrance looking out onto the garden and pool.

This is rural France at its best! The Gers, where people live longer, is endowed with clear unpolluted skies, little traffic, friendly people, a temperate climate and a variety of fresh country produce found in the daily village markets. The area is renowned for its duck, foie gras and Armagnac and during the summer there are many festivals such as Jazz at Marciac, Country and Western at Mirande, Tempo Latino at Vic-Fezensac, bullfighting and horse racing. There is always something to see and do in the area from visiting medieval bastide villages (this is D'Artagnan country), beautiful landscapes, wine and Armagnac tasting, collecting antiques, riding, walking and cycling to just lazing by the pool on a hot summer's afternoon with a glass of fresh local wine! Le Vieux Presbytère is a 2 hour drive from Biarritz and the wonderful long, sandy beaches of the Atlantic. The Pyrenees are also 2 hours drive and have good, challenging skiing in the winter and wonderful alpine summer walks
