Gascon Farmhouse with Pool and Breathtaking Views over the Gers
Delightful 16th century restored farmhouse with 210 m² of living space.Located around only 5 minutes away from 3 of Frances officially listed prettiest villages - Fources, Montreal and Larrresingle. Please check owner's website for video of property including a shot of Fources. The link can be found under the contact details, bottom right of the advert page.
Completely secluded at the end of its own drive Le Petit Rouchino takes its name from the French vernacular for "little nightingale". The whole area is a paradise for gourmets, whether it be foie gras, confit de canard or the wealth of local produce available at local markets. The property itself is surrounded by vineyards and many up and coming producers of Cotes de Gascogne and of course the other drink for which this part of the Gers is famous for worldwide-Armagnac.
Unfortunately the external pictures of the property do not do justice to the views and innate charm of the property. Please take a few moments to check out the video on the owner's website, to truly appreciate this lovely property.

Informal Excellence, Relaxed and Easy to Live InIt is the 3rd time we have rented this house. It has lovely views, and is well located, with 4 beautiful villages with excellent small shops local markets and restaurants nearby. Slightly further afield are Condom, Nerac, Eauze and Agen where there is even more choice. It's peaceful, with lovely views and one feels at home immediately.Guest rating:
Wonderfully situated, quiet, relaxing, private.An amazing location, peaceful, quiet yet within comfortable distance of amenities. House spacious with everything you need, gardens wonderful with lovely pool. Ideal for couples (like us) but great value with loads of accommodation for a family holiday - lots of very interesting places to visit without having to spend hours driving in the car - and of course theweather....34 degrees every day throughout our 2 week stay! We will certainly be returning to Le Petit Rouchino!!Guest rating:
Beautiful private peaceful oasis!A beautiful peaceful and private location- views from the pool fantastic. Accommodation was spacious, and ideal for 2 families to share. Very rural, but only a short drive into Condom for some great restaurants etc. Auberge at Fources well worth a visit- friendly service and good value (Good way of trying something you may not usually order from the menu too!) menu du jour 13 euros for 3 courses and coffee. Quaint gift/craft shops around the centre. Some lovey "floc" tastings locally- Nerac worth a visit with its castle and old town and the chocolatier!Guest rating:
Great house in a great location Lovely house, full of character meeting all the needs of our diverse group ranging from sunworshippers, geeks, outdoor types craving heat and shade in a beautiful quiet and secluded location. Absolutely won over by Gers on our first holiday in the Department, with its superb medieval towns and villages, great restaurants, markets and scenery. One week was far too short. I have no hesitation in recommending Le Petit Rouchino, for the best of traditional France.Guest rating:
Spacious, quirky, well equipped, beautiful pool The villa is set in a large and very private plot with plenty of space for a sizeable and varied group. Our group was 5 adults and 3 children and we were most comfortable. The pool is large and has great views across Larroque and to the countryside beyond. The villa is well equipped with a nice kitchen, TV when you need to catch up on the news or get a break from the Sun and the BBQ is great. Condom is a short drive away and has all the necessary amenities including a very reasonably priced public pool wit slides etc for younger children. Montreal and Fources are very close and well worth visiting with some nice specialist shops and cafes as well as medieval architecture. Nerac and Barbotan-les-Thermes are also well worth visiting.Guest rating:
