Cachin1854 – Gascon house 250 m2 on 12,000 m2 garden with heated pool less than 5 minutes from Marciac. Quiet, bright and comfortable, hiking trails. - Large capacity (16p): you will appreciate this soothing place whether it is with a group of friends, or with family and children.

Musical or noisy outdoor parties (or windows/doors open) are strictly prohibited day or night.
The space
In the middle of the meadows and in the valleys that allow you to see the magnificent Pyrenees mountain range, this 170-year-old house is nestled. Restored with taste and patience, this old and rich farmhouse was redesigned in 2013 by an architect respectful of old materials and methods: tiles, lime plaster, visible beams or plastered beams as in the past, or half-timbered wall in its original state in an attic transformed into a comfortable room...
For your games and entertainment, we have a petanque court (bring your balls if there are a lot of you), a ping-pong table, a hammock, a game of molki, and if it rains or if you like game nights, there is a chest in the entrance with about 50 board games (47 I think). For video lovers, there are a hundred DVDs for all tastes, and a few dozen family DVDs, which you can project in a room on the wall.
The garden is large (12,000 m²). There are also several possible walking paths around the house. For shopping, the Super U in Marciac is 5 minutes away.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire home.
Other things to note
Some important notes (safety and comfort):
- Use of the swimming pool (April to early October) is imperative under parental supervision if you have young children.
- The south terrace, very hot in summer, but very pleasant in mid-season (it is the opposite for the west terrace) is not protected by a ramp: height approximately 120 cm.
- Parties are prohibited by AirBnB

Neighborhood highlights
The sweetness of life in Gascony is the calm of our small valleys and our famous gastronomy.
The cottage is a 5-minute drive from the old village of the bastide of Marciac, renowned for its international Jazz in Marciac festival.
The other traditional bastides in the area are worth a look, such as the old halls and the old washhouses. The villages of Bassoues (wine tasting at the Bilé estate), Beaumarchès, Montesquiou, Lupiac, Aignan or Thermes-d'Armagnac are worth the detour and are close by: those I mention can be visited together in a single day.
When it's hot, the lakes and sandy beaches of Aignan or Lupiac are 20 minutes from the cottage and even in mid-season that of Aignan allows you to enjoy (young and old) a magnificent tree climbing and paintball park sheltered by a beautiful oak forest. I recommend the Aignan flea market restaurant.

My houses are full of laughter from friends and family, I like to welcome them with good meals and good wine!
