We offer two semi-detached gites, each sleeping 6 in 3 en-suite bedrooms. Le Clozet is situated between Agen and Condom in the Gers region of Gascony in the South West of France. We are well placed for visiting the many medieval towns and villages of Gascony such as Nerac, Fources and Vianne.

For guests with young families or the young at heart there is the Walibi fun park in Agen or the water park at Condom, as well as horse-riding, boating, karting, golf and tennis. For food and wine lovers the Gers is a gastronomic heaven, famous for Foie Gras, Confit and Magret de Canard, Armagnac, Floc, Buzet and Madiran wines. Our grounds have many mature oak and walnut trees offering welcoming shade from the Gascon sun. The Gers benefits from nine months of sunshine each year.
