Photos and Description of the Miramont Sensacq vacation rental 4 Double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms & cloakroom, sleeps 8

Le Presbytere is a superb 'Maison de Maitre' , dating from the early 19th c. and built from the materials of the adjoining chateau, sacked during the revolution. It has now been restored to a high standard whilst retaining the original style , character and grandeur it once enjoyed ; The house with its massive outer stone walls , generously proportioned rooms and lovely high ceilings enjoys a delightful ambient temperature, at all times . Dominating the village of Miramont, as it does, the house and its gardens are at the same time secluded and yet very much part of the village. From its vantage point it offers wonderful views from every aspect, both of the Pyrenees ,the Madiran hills and the Bearn countryside. The imposing entrance hall ,with its Regency furnishings , immediately establishes a tone of well being - a theme repeated throuhout the house and echoed in the comments of every visitor

Gascony ! Set in the gastronomic heartland of France- if you want a relaxed holiday in beautiful surroundings where the kids can wander free and discover nature - you've just found it! The Gascons are renowned for the warm welcome they extend to visitors - a fact not lost on the increasing number of visitors from N.France. If you enjoy food and wine this is the place for you. All meat is of the highest quality but the duck is king - along with its princely foie gras. You can find all these at local markets, where you can also buy local fruit, vegetables, cheeses and honey. Restaurants abound - from the small family run bistros offering a 4 or 5 course menu (including wine) for about 11 euros, to the famed 3*** palaces Maybe eating 'in' (especially for the children) is a more practical idea. At nearby supermarkets you can choose from a mouthwatering array of pre-prepared dishes ranging from wild boar through shellfish to a bewildering variety of terrines and pates.
