A beautifully historical home, this artist's mansion in the cathedral town of Condom (yes, that's the real name of its village!) invites guests to experience authentic French charm from the heart of Gascony. Revealing a picturesque Italian-style garden setting with sculptures, a fountain, and a private swimming pool, out here, you'll find the perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening aperitif (Armagnac is the drink of the region). Despite the home's sense of history, there is also a feeling of space and minimalism, allowing you to relax in refined and rustic surroundings. The creative touches owe credit to the owner (an artist), who adds personal details such as Murano glass light fittings and original sculptures. Period furnishings pay homage to the maison's beautiful original features and bring a sense of grandeur to the minimal styling. Whether you rustle up your own feasts in the kitchen's wood fire or have a private chef come and do the honours – sharing delicious group meals here is an absolute must here. Our favourite dining spot of the home is the candle-lit 19th-century Orangerie. Oh and there's even an on-site wine cellar. Explore the Gers countryside, discovering idyllic villages such as Montréal, Fourcès... and Larressingle – just a short drive away. In the warmer months, we recommend hiring a little motorboat and gliding along the river. The more athletic type might prefer kayaking or canoeing – and if you have food on the brain, take a stroll into the local village to check out the atmospheric weekly farmer's market and cosy restaurants.

About France
You could easily take a lifetime’s worth of French holidays and still feel like you haven’t scratched the nation’s surface. The most visited country in the world, France has long inspired artists, revolutionaries, dreamers, and bons vivants with its storybook landscapes, artistic treasures, and cultural idiosyncrasies. Paris is, of course, the country’s glittering centrepiece but there are countless beauty spots worth discovering outside of the City of Light. Sun yourself...
