SAVOUR THE BEST
OF GASCONY The pace is slow, the food sublime, the local’s friendly.
There is a beguiling corner of southwest France that politicians refer
to as la France profonde; where stressed Parisians dream of buying
their holiday homes. The landscape is as unscarred today as when
d’Artagnan, one of Alexandre Dumas’ famed musketeers, walked his native
land. This is Gascony. The sleepy villages, vineyards, maize and
sunflower fields that define the countryside are still free of the
crowds of tourists that flock to neighbouring regions. There are no
motorways, no power stations or industry, and no well-known tourist
honey pots; it has remained a rural backwater, undisturbed by
modernity. The region is clearly defined by its hearty food and drink;
duck is the culinary king, foie gras has attained reverential status,
and Armagnac, cognac’s earthier cousin, is the local digéstif. Life is
slow and relaxed and it is little wonder that locals enjoy the longest
life expectancy in France.
PONTACQ is a recently and tastefully
renovated farmhouse offering the opportunity to get off the 'stress
merry-go-round' and leave any problems at the gate, to relax in
peaceful surroundings. It offers you well equipped, secure and
comfortable accommodation. It is in an ideal location from which you
can launch your exploration of this beautiful and historic region and
begin to discover the hidden secrets of rural France. To savour its
amenities, heritage, tradition, cuisine and beauty.
