Home description
Relax and enjoy your holiday in our luxury self catering accommodation with 10x5m. swimming pool (shared with owners / family) in the wing of an elegantly restored 16th century half timbered Manor House in the Gers, Midi Pyrenees, south west France. 'Le Pigeonnier' is the ideal holiday setting to unwind and experience rural France at its best.
The house is situated on a hillside, with commanding views over rolling countryside to the distant Pyrenees mountains, set below the church of the hilltop hamlet of Montégut-Savès and just 5 minutes from the famous Gers market town of Samatan.
We also have an additional 1-bedroom accommodation on the same grounds available. Please visit our personal website below using the link in the "Contact Us" section for more details or enquire directly by phone!

The Midi-Pyrenees / Gers region
The house is situated within easy reach of many fantastic places of interest.
Toulouse, 50 minutes away, known as the Ville Rose ("Pink City") for its distinctive brick architecture, is host to a rich and diverse culture and is now the fastest growing metropolitan area in Europe. The city radiates with a show of festivals, museums, theatres, restaurants and cafes and is also considered an epicentre for rugby union.
Lourdes has developed into a major place of Christian pilgrimage, following the apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858, receiving visitors from all over the world. The spring water from the Grotto is believed by some to possess healing properties. Especially impressive are candlelight and sacrament processions. 2008 sees the 150th anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady.
Meanwhile Auch is known for its Renaissance Cathédrale Sainte-Marie with its magnificent organ, carved stalls and rose stained-glass windows, La Tour d'Armagnac (14th century prison), as well as a statue of d'Artagnan who was based on the real life person Charles de Batz (Comte d'Artagnan), born nearby in the château de Castelmore, and written about by Alexandre Dumas.
Many other local towns are worth a visit and you can find more information about these on our website.

Le Pigeonnier is set below the church of the hilltop hamlet of Montégut-Savès, just 5 minutes from the famous Gers market town of Samatan. The market is open Monday mornings and the town is packed with market stalls selling everything from livestock to local produce, including its famous foie gras.
Experience our restaurants with local specialties, such as confit de canard (very slowly cooked, succulent duck) and cassoulet (tender pieces of duck and toulouse sausage cooked in a savoury lingot bean sauce), enhanced with the warmth of our regional wines such as Madiran, Fitou or Corbieres.
