LARRIBERAU
Our French home was built in 1810 as a farmhouse in the traditional Gascon style, using the local honey-coloured stone. Sheltered by great oaks, it looks out on to panoramic views. On a clear day the Pyrenees are a tantalisingly beautiful sight to the south. The house is in the countryside entirely on its own.
The views here are truly spectacular, and the sunsets simply stunning. This is the France we all dream of. Peace, tranquillity, and the Sound of Silence. And at night the stars are clearer than you can imagine. Many evenings are spent lying out to view the Milky Way, or La Voie Lacteé as the locals call it.

But despite the peace it is not remote. Labejan, a small hillside village with a bar and restaurant is a short distance away, and Mirande and Seissan, good local market towns, with a variety of shops, are only ten minutes distant.
As well as the main house, there is a separate large Games Barn. In front of the house is the large 12x6 metre swimming pool, securely fenced off for child safety. And all around tranquil, rolling countryside. There’s virtually no traffic, but despite its peaceful position, there are good facilities nearby with good, well-stocked shops, traditional markets, and plenty of places to visit and things to do.
There are well-served airports to South West France at both Toulouse and Pau and regular daily flights with both British Airways and Easyjet. There are excellent train services to Toulouse (you can also put the car on the train from Paris) and regular trains to Auch.
