Logis Hôtel la Ferme de Flaran

Everything was very clean and the staff were fantastic. Pool was very clean and lovely, only complaint was the flies in restaurant.

I stayed at la Ferme over a long weekend in August 2022. If ever one wanted 'French countryside in summer', this is definitely the place. It's quite a way from any large towns (and even a goodly walk to the nearest small one), so a car is pretty much essential (although I managed it by lifts from kind friends and taxis). But that's the point, really. You are miles form anywhere, just basking in the glories of rural France in August. The pool is a boon, if you're simply relaxing in the sunshine. The rooms are lovely - all you'd ever need, with views of the countryside, the red pantiles and the sky. They're also air-conditioned, which is a saviour on those hot nights. The food is glorious: a concentration on France's best produce, cooked well and served by friendly and helpful staff. The 'grandes salades' are particularly fine, and you don't really need anything else. You're also in Armagnac country, so save a little space to try some of their wide range. Just down the road (literally 10 minutes' walk at most) is the Abbaye de Flaran, now run as an arts centre. Solid, Romanesque architecture with later additions (and some elegantly preserved grounds), the abbey itself is worth the visit, but it's home to roaming contemporary exhibitions and installations, and a breathtaking permanent collection that includes several Dali sculptures, a Picasso, a Modigliani, a Rodin, a Camille Claudel, a Cézanne, a Braque, and a particularly fine Monet seascape. Feed your appetite; crank up the Ravel. This is the most intense experience of rural France you can have.

Odeur et preeence de moisissures dans la chambre. D'ailleurs, anti humidité dans la table de nuit ce qui montre que l'établissement était fermé u courant. Couvre feu à 22h15 alors que nous souhaitions rester plus longtemps.
