Frequently asked questions
Before you book
Is the gîte suitable for families with children?
Yes, that's what it was made for: a dormitory for the children, a fenced pool, a big garden, games, cot and high chair on request.
There are more than 14 of us, is that possible?
Yes. Fourteen sleep in the house, the others in gîtes less than 5 minutes' walk away, and everyone meets back here for meals and the pool. Tell us your numbers in your enquiry and we'll put you in touch.
Can we book for a weekend?
Yes, usually from two nights. Long weekends and bank holidays are in high demand: book early.
Can we hold a christening, a birthday or a family reunion?
Yes, the gîte regularly hosts family celebrations. Tell us how many guests: beyond the 14 who sleep here, we can seat up to 35 at table. See the weddings and receptions page.
Do you accept hen and stag weekends?
Stays with friends, including quiet hen and stag weekends, are possible by prior arrangement. The place is not suited to noisy parties or late nights: we're deep in the countryside, with neighbours and animals.
Is the gîte really quiet?
Yes. Monpardiac is the smallest village in the Gers, and the gîte sits away from the village, surrounded by meadows. The only sounds are those of the countryside.
Where exactly is Laborde?
In Monpardiac (32170), 10 minutes from Marciac and 20 minutes from Mirande. Allow about 40 minutes from Tarbes, 45 from Auch, 1 hour from Pau and 1 hour 45 from Toulouse.
How do I know whether my plans suit the venue?
Write to us and describe what you have in mind. Every event enquiry starts with a conversation, so that it works for you and respects the place.
Ready to set a date?
Call us or send an enquiry; we usually reply the same day.
