“Greet our guests as we do our friends” is the motto of Sylvie and Olivier Lacroix, the couple who own this superb country mansion. They are a goldmine of information when it comes to the beauty of the region, and will advise you on how best to discover it while avoiding the tourist traps. These collectors of old Armagnacs will also be happy to introduce you to the region’s best sun-soaked wines: Madiran, Jurançon and Tursan - to be sipped in the shade of the big leafy plane trees.
