Friends told us about this part of the Gers, very beautiful, very much old France as you imagine it and very few tourists. A couple of restaurants in the village which are OK and for fine dining a Michelin star restaurant in the town of nearby Condom (about 10 kilometres away). The B&B we stayed at - La Maison de...

Beautiful house, lovely garden and welcoming hosts. Rooms large, airy and spotlessly clean. Charming village, ideal for those looking for peace and quiet. Finally do not forget to sample the table d'hote, delicious.

From the moment we arrived the Swifts were very welcoming. Our room was large, airy and beautifully presented....in fact the whole house is beautifully presented. Breakfast was served in the garden each morning. The garden is charming and the views quite stunning. Valence sur Baise is a fabulous base for exploring The Gers and Keith provides well planned advice on... More

A warm welcome from Keith and and Kate who were friendly and helpful without being pushy. They made us very welcome and provided a superb evening meal for us. We are veggie so eating in France is not always easy but we were wined and dined for a small extra charge with outstanding vegetarian food. The room was very clean... More

The rooms were all extremely well decorated and clean, with nice touches abounding. Smart and well designed shower rooms ensuite, good sized bedrooms, and top notch breakfasts! The garden at the rear, with its... More

This is a small picturesque village located in the hill country of the south of France. My wife and I met here with two other american couples prior to taking over a canal boat for ten days of cruising on the rivers and canals of the area. This village was very picturesque and a local ancient church, L'Abbaye de Flaran,... More

My husband and the two couples we were traveling with stayed in this house for one night before we picked up a barge. I can't say enough good things--the host was charming and went out of his to help us. (Kate, his wife, was out of town.) Before we left for France, he helped one couple extensively in arranging complicated... More

Spent a couple of days at La Maison Des Lys - and it was not enough. No review could do this lovely house justice! Keith was an excellent host. Emailed us before arrival to offer taking an evening meal with him as the restaurants in Valence were closed on the night of our arrival (Monday) - what a wonderful meal!... More
