The Farmhouse called Bouillin is the perfect place for those who want to be surrounded by nature and tranquility, a very private and peaceful location lined with ancient oak trees and a natural pond, large terraces and central courtyard, with comfortable modern touch's inside..

There is tons here to see - Fources, the only round bastide village with its shops and brocantes, Vic Fezensac's spanish festivals, Marciac Jazz festival... and do - biking, boating, hiking, horseback riding, canal cruising.. but that can wait. Today there is a sunny terrace to sit on, fresh produce from the farmers market to enjoy, foie gras to eat, wine and armagnac to drink...maybe a walk around the lake first, a nice long lunch, and then we can decide. '
