Inclined to luxury Local Attractions

Set in a meadow of wild flowers and grasses above gardens and ponds in the region of France known as Midi-Pyrenees in the Department of the Gers, Inclined to Luxury is approximately 1 hour West, South West of Toulouse. Spain is about one and a quarter hours away. Atlantic Coast (Biarittz) is about 2 hours drive. The region is famed for its Fois Gras, duck and black pigs. Its rolling hills, lush forests and many rivers, streams and lakes are full of wildlife. It is not uncommon to see wild deer walking over the property or large birds of prey sitting on any available perch. Hoopees, white egrets and owls are all regular visitors. Stretching out in front of the property is a stunning 100 mile panoramic view of the Pyrenees.
