Lovingly restored and updated with modern amenities, while respecting the traditional character. Exposed stone walls, and beamed ceiling beams throughout. Ancient stone fireplaces have been fitted with wood-burning stoves to take the chill off spring & autumn evenings.

Historic setting just outside the castle walls of the 13th century fortified village of Larressingle in the Gers. The cottages are quietly located, just out of sight of the castle, but with easy access to the bar/creperie within the castle walls, and a nearby restaurant. The Gascony region of south-west France is still relatively undiscovered by tourists, and so provides the chance to relax and enjoy something of the real France. The surrounding countryside is fields of sunflowers and Armagnac vines. Duck dishes, foie gras and prunes are the local specialities, washed down with Armagnac or the local aperitif 'Pousse Rapiere'! The bustling market town of Condom is only 5km away and offers all amenities and a range of restaurants. The area abounds with history with its medieval fortified villages at Fourcès, Montréal du Gers, La Romieu, l'Abbaye de Flaran, to name but a few. Colourful weekly market in Condom, as well as at nearby towns of Nérac, Eauze and Lectoure.

'We thought your gite [Le Figuier] was just delightful and everything we had hoped for - a beautiful quite magical location so close to the beautiful castle - a totally unspoilt part of the world - the gite itself was a quiet, tranquil and cool haven. The pool was super and it worked out fine sharing with our neighbours. The gite was spotless on our arrival and Anne was so professional and efficient and friendly. The gite was beautifully and tastefully appointed and a real pleasure to stay in. I'm sure none of us will ever forget going out late at night to admire the illuminated entrance to the castle against the most amazing starry night.' Anne-Marie, UK 'We had a wonderful holiday thanks ... I particularly enjoyed the outside cooking facilities and of course the peace and quiet.' David, UK
