Le Manoir de Pons

In the heart of the South-West, between Bordeaux and Toulouse, come and recharge your batteries on 5 hectares of land bordering the Canal de l'Entre-Deux-Mers. Following the old towpath from the lock keeper's house, Manoir de Pons awaits you in a Tuscan-style landscape. Umbrella pines stand guard at the end of the cypress avenue: this ancient 15th-century fortified farmhouse stands out against a plain backdrop, open to the horizon.
