We are delighted to offer our 5-night experience ‘Golden Gascony’. Gascony is a beautiful area of South-West France famous for its food, wine, rolling countryside and D’Artagnan – the hero of Alexandre Dumas’ book, ‘The Three Musketeers’. During your time with us, you will explore local villages and chateaux and immerse yourself in the culture of the region. You will sample typical menus from the Gascony region and taste their delicious wines and Armagnac, as well as visiting markets and taking time to appreciate all the spectacular nature around you.
This is an all-inclusive week including complimentary transfer from Toulouse airport. (Flights and insurance not included).
We can tailor the course to your own preferences. For more details, make an enquiry below or email Sarah at [email protected].
