Domaine de Peyloubère

Where we are

Domaine de Peyloubère is situated in the Department of Le Gers in South West France.  The 35-acre estate lies just outside the village of Pavie which is 10 minutes south of Auch, the capital of the Gers.

Accessibility

Several airports serve the area, the closest being Toulouse (Blagnac) which is 55 minutes east of Auch, and then Pau which is approximately 90 minutes away.  Bordeaux, Carcassonne and Biarritz are approximately two hours drive from Peyloubère.  In addition, the Motorail (Autotrain) runs from Paris to Toulouse and Tarbes throughout the holiday season.  Some summers there has also been a service direct from Calais to Toulouse - check with SNCF.  There is a regular train service from Paris all year round, including the night train with first and second-class couchettes.   Click on Travel Information for further details.

The village of Pavie provides all everyday needs.  Croissants and bread are baked twice daily and there is a pharmacie as well as a butcher and small general store for groceries, wines and fresh produce and a 'BIO' shop selling organically grown produce and dried goods.  Membership of the Pavie Tennis Club is available free to all Peyloubère guests and there is also a riding school in the village.  Local restaurants include simple meals at 'El Gallego', the invaluable 'Stromboli Pizzeria' for wood-fired takeaways or a more leisurely and varied meal in the restaurant, and the 'Table d'Arlette' in the neighbouring village of Auterrive.
