Arround the farm, there are terraces and century-old olive trees. You can sit down under these wonderful trees which provide much needed shade. After playing tennis in our indoor tennis-court, it is a pleasure to dive in the outdoor swimmingpool and take a rest at one of the sunbeds around it.
The farm has its own lake for swimming, and fishing (carps). And in our private woods with beautiful walking paths you can be entirely on your own for a while by making a walk, mountainbike or enjoy a pick-nick.

What to do
During your stay you can use our own private lake for fishing, swimming and sunbathing. (there are always sun chairs available for you). There are also 2 forests where you can go hiking, jogging, mountain biking and picnic. These forests are also private grounds, so you will never encounter anyone.
In the maison de maître you also have a small sauna and a table tennis table. For your children there is always a ride to be arranged on the Quad, this is a 6-wheeled type of tractor that can really get over and over with its 4-wheel drive. (And we will probably take yourself for an off-the-road ride through the area)
You can visit markets and local parties every week. Some important ones are the famous Jazz-In-Marciac festival, the Country and Western party in Mirande or the Fiesta-Latina in Vic-Fezensac. Don’t miss the big market with live geese and other animals in Samatan on Monday morning. Many of our guests also book a tour of the Airbus factories in Toulouse. Of course we can help you with this if your French is slightly less.
In Pavie a village 6 km away you will find a park where you can float through the treetops like a tarzan on a cable.
