@patriciaparinejad (Portrait des propriétaires)
In Albret, a 15th-century manor house has been given a new lease of life thanks to a couple who fell in love with it in 2019. Design, art, and travel souvenirs blend together naturally and elegantly, paying homage to the discreet yet vibrant Gascon way of life.
In the heart of Albret, this manor house, whose foundations date back to the 15th century, was surely waiting for one thing : for a fairy godmother to finally take pity on it once again. In 2019, a couple fell in love with it. The result ? A true declaration of the art of living in this corner of Gascony, which has curiously flown under the radar until now. Iconic designer pieces, souvenirs from long journeys, beautifully signed photographs, contemporary works of art, antiques... All displayed without fuss or affectation, placed there naturally and with enormous chic. With a garden (park !) to match.
3 good reasons to go
- for the sun-filled, vibrant dishes that François creates for the table d'hôte dinner service
- to discover this region of rolling hills, vineyards, and sunflower fields
- for the gentle pace of life here
Two XXL rooms in the manor house starting at €180 and a fully independent farmhouse for up to four people right next door, starting at €240
