The Midi-Pyrenees / Gers region
The Gers is one of the best kept secrets in France. Renowned for its gastronomic delights as well as historic sites of interest including the beautiful bastide villages, prehistoric caves and cave drawings; it features some of the most spectacular countryside in France. Located within easy reach of the Pyrenees for skiing or snow boarding in the winter and marvellous walking/climbing in the summer. Close to Toulouse, the major cultural and shopping centre of south west France and Auch, the capital of the Gers, famous for its connection with D'Artagnan and its beautiful cathedral with superb carved choir stalls. Lourdes can be reached within an hour and the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts within 2 hours.
The summer period from mid-June to September is usually hot, with winters being cold but with days when you can eat outside. The months of April/May are mild but with some hot days and it is a wonderful time for wild flowers and walking in the beautiful countryside.
Simorre area
Simorre is a very attractive mainly half-timbered C15th village with a wonderful fortified church. The village has excellent shopping facilities with 2 bakers, butcher, small supermarket, pharmacy, post office and cafe (drinks not food) and is within easy walking distance of La Beziade. For a greater variety of food purchases there are several large supermarkets within 15 mins. of the gite. There are several good restaurants in the area, one on the outskirts of Simorre. Tennis courts available in the village.
For additional activities there are many excellent golf courses, horse riding, climbing, canoeing, rafting all within easy reach. This is excellent walking country, both locally and further afield with magnificent wild flowers and birdlife. Local markets abound selling excellent local produce.
There are numerous music festivals in the summer, both classic and jazz, including the world renowned jazz festival at Marciac which takes place during the first two weeks of August. The towns of Auch, Pau and Lourdes are all worth a visit.
