A different pace of life

Le Bêtet lies in the department of the Gers, an area of south-west France known for its rolling countryside, old villages, vineyards and strong sense of place.

Still called by its ancient name of Gascony, this is a region where the passage of time is still measured by the seasons. It is a landscape made for walking, reading, long lunches and unhurried evenings.

Discover Gascony

Gascony was the birthplace of D’Artagnan, hero of The Three Musketeers. And the vineyards, farms and small market towns he knew still shape the rhythm of everyday life.

Nearby Eauze is just one of many local towns and villages which have lively weekly markets, while the region is dotted with small restaurants and producers of local wine, Armagnac and beautiful fresh food.

This is a part of France that still feels wonderfully unhurried. At Le Bêtet, you can enjoy the countryside without feeling cut off from everything around you.
