La Jeanne
This
beautiful
rural property is situated on
the outskirts of a small
village yet just
a short drive from the bustling market and popular tourist town of Aire
Sur L'Adour (8km) and the charming village
of Riscle (8km).

Aire Sur L'Adour
The main town which lies on the river Adour on the border of the
departments of the Gers and the Landes of
Southwest France has an intriguing mixture of old and new.

Traditional French
architecture blends almost invisibly with modern shops, bars, open
markets, supermarkets, banks,
restaurants and sports facilities.
The area is famous for
delicious foie gras and fabulous healthy Madiran
wines and Armagnac.
Welcome to La Jeanne Gascon Gascogne Holiday Cottage
South facing La Jeanne
Cottage sits on a high
ridge overlooking open fields the Cottage offers stunning far reaching views of the Pyrenees mountain range.
.
The word "Gite" is used
quite liberally in France and for some
conjures up images of large complexes of renovated
farmhouses, barns, cow sheds or cellars.
La Jeanne Holiday Cottage
is a completely self contained self catering holiday cottage comfortably
accommodating
up to six people .The cottage has recently
been completely refurbished to the highest standard.
What's inside ?
The main door opens into
a large fully fitted kitchen diner with exposed beams and tiled floor
and leads into the bright lounge with a wooden staircase. Electric
radiators and wood burner provide heating for winter nights.
A hallway from the lounge
gives access to a large double bedroom, a toilet, huge hand basin,
hydrotherapy shower cubicle and an automatic washing machine.
Lower floor lounge
A door in the hallway
allows access to the
rear of the property and
the private driveway.
The wooden staircase from
the lounge leads
to the first floor which
is a fabulous attic conversion.
The mixture of the old and
modern features creates a warm and stylish space and comprises 2 large
double bedrooms separated by a 2nd lounge or further bedroom should the
need arise.
What's outside ?
A private vehicle access
and lawn large
enough for tennis, large gravelled patio area with
shrubs and flowered rockeries, a second private lawn area for sunbathing and raised decked patio area with family
sized (5 mtr. dia.) above ground pool.

The patio is a real sun trap overlooking unspoilt valleys to
the wine producing village of Saint-Mont.

Fancy a dip ?
We live on site, speak
English and some French and are happy to help with suggestions of places
to visit, house hunting or just getting to know more about the area.
