Le Luc (house)

Home description

Our house is a beautiful ‘maison de campagne’ (country house) dating from 1812 set in its own grounds with gardens front and rear and ample parking. It is about 3 km from Madiran and approximately 10 km from both Riscle (north) and Maubourguet (south).

The property has been extensively restored and the house is both comfortable and charming with beamed ceilings and tiled floors. Traditional thick walls and shutters help to keep the interior warm in winter and cool during the heat of the summer.

Central location for the Gers, Landes, Pyrenees Atlantique/Occidental (Gascony, Aquitaine, Midi-Pyrenees), beaches, mountains and lakes. Views of Pyrenees. Ideal location for cycling (+Le Tour), walking, birdwatching, skiing and snowboarding in season.

The Midi-Pyrenees / Hautes-Pyrenees region

Situated only one hour from the foothills of the Pyrenees, the winter months can be cool and fresh. However, the area enjoys long, mostly sunny Spring and Autumn seasons. Summers are long and hot, with pleasantly warm evenings and beautifully clear, starry night skies.(Worth taking a telescope or binoculars if you have them).

The Haute Pyrenees is also full of gastomonic delights, for those who fancy travelling and those who want to stay local. On your travels you will also see many auberges and restaurants, too many to mention here.
Of course the whole of France is famous for its wine and vineyards. If you look out the front door of the house you can't avoid them. Obviously there are many Caves in the area and there's nothing to stop you trying them all.

Although there are a considerable number of local activities, the house is also approximately 90 minutes drive to the Pyrenees and for those wishing to travel further afield you can reach the Mediterranean in about 3 to 4 hours. Biarritz (Atlantic coast), Bordeaux and Toulouse approx. 2hrs. Med., Carcassone, Perpignan approx 3 hrs. Auch approx. 60 mins. Tarbes and Pau (incl airport) approx 40 mins. Tour de France June/July in Pyrenees. Spain/Andorra approx 3 hrs.
