About Gary & Rachael
We moved into Au Sabate after my mother passed away and are continuing with the rental of the lovely gite, set in acres of country side, yet local to Condom & Lectour etc. We have 2 large dogs and 3 cats (all very friendly!) who love the land and surrounding woods.
Gary & Rachael purchased this House in 2015
Why Gary & Rachael chose Caussens
We love the slow, laid-back lifestyle of rural France, which revolves around enjoying the surrounding, magnificent countryside, beautiful ancient villages and towns steeped in history, gardening, entertaining family and friends in this idyllic situation with its hot summer climate. The climate, local cuisine and wine, and practically empty roads, make it the perfect place to live and enjoy life!
What makes this House unique
A great benefit is being in the middle of the quiet, rolling countryside, and yet just 5 kilometers from the pretty market town of Condom, a Cathedral town which bustles with tourists in spring and summer. Very nearby are the equally pretty towns of Lectoure and Fleurance, both reachable in 30 mins. The area is located in the heart of Gascony, which is famous for its cuisine, including foie gras, magret and confit de canard, and of course a plentiful supply of superb wines and armagnac. The area is mid-way between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, with the Pyrenees and Spain about 1.5 hours drive. Littered all around are unspoilt medieval villages, chateaux and vineyards to explore.
