The owners have recently put this delightful stone farmhouse back on the rental market after enjoying longer periods of time there themselves over the last few years.
Our farmhouse is in Perron which is 3kms from the market town of Aurignac, in the departement of Haute-Garonne. The local area is known as Le Comminges which lies between the broad and hilly land of Gascony and the striking mountains of the Pyrenees.
The farmhouse was built in 1880 of solid stone in a traditional style, and boasts 2 large stone barns, one open sided for car parking and with its annexe for barbecues and shaded sitting. The other barn is used for storage. There are 11 acres of fields and woods located both to the north and south of the house. Across our largest field to the south is a small river (Louge) in which there are small fish. A private 8 x 4 metre swimming pool is installed in front of the house, surrounded by a grass lawn, but overlooking fields. On a clear day the Pyrenees can be seen from the pool area.
Various British/French agents look after the garden and swimming pool, and carry out maintenance, and do any top-up cleaning between lets. Note that all cleaning during the let is your responsibility (and at your expense). The gardienne d'immeuble (concierge) who lived opposite and looked after the key, has now retired, so other secure arrangements are made for the key collection.
The swimming pool will not normally be open in the low season.
Ferme Langlois will always be in good habitable condition throughout the year despite the fact that it is not a modern purpose built luxury home.
On the ground floor of the farmhouse there is:
- A fully fitted modern kitchen (hob and overn, freezer, fridge, washing machine, dish washer),
- Dining room with woodburner,
- Sitting room with efficient wood burning stove and T.V, small storage room and toilet.
On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms:
- The main bedroom with a double bed,
- Another large bedroom with two French ¾ beds pushed together as a double bed, and
- The third bedroom with two single beds. There is also a child's cot.
- On this floor is a large bathroom incorporating bath, basin, and toilet.
- There is also a separate shower room.
There are 6 pillows in total together with pillowcases. The double beds have blankets and the single beds have duvets, with sheets or duvet covers provided as appropriate. There is a small extra charge for bed linen outside the high season. Towels are not provided, but we can arrange for them to be hired locally, given notice.
A telephone is installed at the farmhouse for all incoming calls, and free outgoing landline calls within France. All calls to mobiles and other countries are chargeable and will be deducted from the deposit. There is also broadband available.
For use on those rare rainy days there is a colour TV receiving French starions and an IPTV for free stations including BBC.
Within approximately an hour's drive of Aurignac are Toulouse, Auch, Lourdes, Luchon (base for skiing), Foix and Montsegur. Andorra is a two hour trip, and one would allow 3 hours to reach either the Atlantic or Mediterranean coasts (about 200 kms).
The climate is good - being close to the Spanish border the summers are truly hot. Yet there are occasional rainstorms which keep the landscape green.
Perron and Aurignac
Perron is a quiet hamlet in a rural farming area. It is served by a mobile grocer, baker and butcher. Most other daily requirements are available at a small supermarket just outside Aurignac and the Tuesday market in Aurignac. Aurignac (pop.1200) has two restaurants, two lively bars, cinema, and a number of other shops, including one selling vin du pays. The nearest large supermarket is in Martres-Tolosanne (12kms). More sophisticated shopping, restaurants (serving the food of Gascony in the main) and night clubs are to be found in St. Gaudens (22kms).
Before departure holiday makers will be sent Directions to Ferme Langlois, names and telephone numbers of those who look after the house locally and a list of good restaurants in the area.
Tourist brochures are at the house, up to date information can be obtained from the Syndicat d'Initiative office in Aurignac.
There are many festivals and good leisure and sporting facilities in the area, including skiing, canoeing, windsurfing, riding, and of course mountaineering and walking in the national parks on both the French and Spanish sides of the mountains.

How to get to Ferme Langlois
The region is very accessible by air, rail and road. The property itself is midway between Toulouse and Tarbes airports which are served by direct flights from UK as well as by TGV high speed services including Auto Train and Motorail facilities (to summer 2010). From Toulouse there is a slower rail service which stops at Boussens which is about 15 kms from the house. By road, driving time is 12 to 13 hours from Calais. We travel by ferry from Portsmouth to Caen or St. Malo and complete the very pleasant journey in one go taking 10 hours using major roads and motorways. For an overnight stop we used to recommend somewhere near Cognac, but now there is plenty of choice on the internet.

We stayed for two weeks and would highly recommend. Beautiful farmhouse in a lovely location with a stunning pool. House is very spacious and the kitchen well equipped. The owner could not have been more helpful from providing ferry/travel information to local restaurant recommendations and much more. We would love to return one day!Guest rating:
We stayed at Ferme Langlois in Perron for 2 weeks last summer. The farmhouse is cool and spacious/well equipped and the pool just wonderful with a view across open farmland. There is an open barn for keeping the car under cover and another near the pool with sunloungers and table/chairs/barbeque for sitting out/dining in the shade. The village is quiet as it consists of just a few houses but close to Aurignac for essentials from either supermarkets, bakeries or, if needed, a pharmacy. The surrounding area is full of walks-we bought a very good map from the local tourist office- or the most amazing villages and towns. Parking is not a problem and, unless you visit somewhere like Carcassone where there are a lot of tourists, is free. The whole departement has stunning scenery particularly if you travel closer to the Pyrenees. We had a wonderful holiday and were very sad to leave.

We had a absolutely lovely time thank you. What a gorgeous house and Garden. Very well equipped. Everything we needed was there. The weather was okay had a few storms which were quite amazing."Guest rating:
August 2008. A great place to stay! Beautifully quiet and rural, without being isolated. Clean and well maintained. Easy access to the Pyrénées, Toulouse and Spain, but lots to do locally too. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a lovely holiday.
Guest rating:
An immaculate, well equipped, clean and lovely house in a very scenic and interesting region. Plenty of places to visit when feeling energetic and very relaxing just lying by the pool in the sun. Locals in Perron very helpful and friendly. In short a well organised, stress free holiday which we would happily recommend to friends and family.
Thanks again to Martin & Penny.Guest rating:

Additional price notes
- Christmas and Easter prices are by negotiation
- The rental prices are expressed per week irrespective of the number of people occupying the property up to a maximum of 6 plus a baby in low and high season. However, in mid season, discounts of up to 50% are available for 2 persons and 25% for 4 persons are available subject to a minimum of two weeks booking. All gas and electricity used for domestic consumption (excluding heating) and water are included in such prices. Heating, whether firewood, electric (measured by meter readings) or gas, and extra cleaning, are not included in our prices. Bedlinen is included in the high season only, as are bath towels.
- We have some 'house conditions' such as arrival and departure times (Monday changeover), standards of cleaning, use of pool by young children (i.e. supervision by adults), rubbish collections, reporting of complaints and use of septic tank. Such conditions are sent with our property details and before departure.
- As will be seen from the picture, the swimming pool is in an open area without railings, fences or other barriers around it to stop people falling in. It is however clearly visible from the house. France has regulations about the security of swimming pools principally concerning children under 6 years old, which has meant we have installed an alarm. It is loud enough to be heard from some distance from the pool, as far as the house. We have always maintained that it is the parent's responsibility to supervise their children, and observance of this principle is a vital condition of booking Ferme Langlois. It is not possible to assess each and every risk, but we do not accept any liability for parents being out of earshot of the alarm or tampering with it. In this connection a Pool Safety Manual will be sent to you before departure.
- You are strongly recommended to take out holiday insurance (including cancellation and curtailment cover).
