Hen weekends, stag weekends and weekends with friends in the Gers A weekend with friends, Gers style
A whole house for fourteen, the pool, one long table, Marciac ten minutes away. And if you would rather not organise anything, we put you in touch with a caterer and activity hosts we know well.
All to yourselves
A house, not a hotel
Nobody in the next room, nobody at the pool but you. The house sits away from the village, surrounded by meadows: you live outdoors, you talk loudly, and everyone sleeps under the same roof.
No logistics
We put you in touch
A partner caterer for dinner and brunch, a hosted tasting of Gers produce, an escape box or a team game on site. You choose, they invoice you directly, and you keep a single venue.
The Gers all around
Vineyards, markets, Marciac
Madiran and Saint-Mont wine cellars 25 minutes away, Marciac market on Wednesdays, bastide towns for Saturday's outing, and the jazz festival in summer.
A typical weekend
From Friday evening to Sunday lunchtime
- Friday
Arrival and drinks under the préau
Keys from 16:00, the sun setting over the hillsides, a first simple dinner or one delivered by the caterer.
- Saturday morning
Pool or market
A lie-in for some, market and coffee in Marciac for the others. Lunch at the barbecue, with the butcher's barbecue basket waiting for you in the fridge.
- Saturday afternoon
The activity
An escape box in the house, a hosted tasting under the préau, or a walk through the vines. On request, we pass on the contacts.
- Saturday evening
The big dinner
Under the beams, up to 35 at the table if friends join you. Served by the partner caterer or cooked by you in the large kitchen.
- Sunday
Brunch and a last swim
Departure at 11:00, or later on request depending on the next arrivals.
The pool is yours, from Friday to Sunday.
On request
Caterer, escape box, barbecue basket: the options for your hen or stag weekend
We rent out the house. For everything else, we work with local partners we know well and put you in touch. Each one invoices you for their own service; you keep a single venue and a single number to organise it all.
Tick what interests you in your request: we pass on each partner's contact details and prices.
House rules
So that it goes well, for you and for the neighbours
We are glad to welcome groups of friends who come to enjoy the place. We are deep in the countryside, with a village and neighbours a few hundred metres away, so we set the ground rules from the start.
- Music outdoors until 23:00, indoors after that, with no time limit.
- No fireworks.
- €500 security deposit, returned after the check-out inspection.
- The group stays as announced: no surprise guests beyond the capacity.
- The pool is the group's responsibility; no swimming alone at night.
Every request starts with a conversation before confirmation: that is what lets us say yes with confidence.

The gîte is rented whole, by the night, whether there are 6 or 14 of you. For example: a two-night weekend in low season costs €800 for the whole house, around €67 per person with twelve of you. Bed linen and cleaning extra.
