Welcome to Pontacq - a holiday rental property in rural France.

Description

Excerpted from the website:

SAVOUR THE BEST OF GASCONY The pace is slow, the food sublime, the local’s friendly. There is a beguiling corner of southwest France that politicians refer to as la France profonde; where stressed Parisians dream of buying their holiday homes. The landscape is as unscarred today as when d’Artagnan, one of Alexandre Dumas’ famed musketeers, walked his native land. This is Gascony. The sleepy villages, vineyards, maize and sunflower fields that define the countryside are still free of the crowds of tourists that flock to neighbouring regions. There are no motorways, no power stations or industry, and no well-known tourist honey pots; it has remained a rural backwater, undisturbed by modernity. The region is clearly defined by its hearty food and drink; duck is the culinary king, foie gras has attained reverential status, and Armagnac, cognac’s earthier cousin, is the local digéstif. Life is slow and relaxed and it is little wonder that locals enjoy the longest life expectancy in France.
