Located in the heart of Gascony


Located in the heart of Gascony, with dramatic views of the Pyrenees, this is a rare opportunity to experience living in the unspoiled countryside of Southern France. While residing in a landmark chateau, you will be rewarded every day with magnificent panoramas, complete tranquility, and a quality of life which can only be associated with Old France.

Bassoues has been listed as one of the hundred most picturesque villages in France. Virtually unchanged for the last three centuries, Bassoues boasts a 14 th century keep (donjon), a timber framed market hall dating from the 1500s, a Romanesque basilica, a 13 th century Gothic church, and the Golden Legend of St. Fris. The village is only a few miles from Marciac, another medieval town, internationally known for its famous jazz festival, held annually in August.
