Built around 1735 this 'hôtel particulier' (private mansion) is one of the historic and architecturally important houses of the town. During the Hundred Years' War, King Edward III installed his son as the administrator of this region of France. Known later by the sobriquet 'The Black Prince', the ruins of his palace chapel still remain as part of the mansion's fabric, helping to warrant its inclusion on one of the town's historic-sites walks.
The three apartments are very different. Cathedrale (130m2) on the first floor is very spacious with all its rooms - sitting area, kitchen/diner, bathroom and two bedrooms - all high ceilinged, light, airy and centrally heated.
The Studio (42m2) on the ground floor, is more modest but still has a separate bathroom and a bedroom leading off the main living area. This room has a three seater settee, a well-equipped kitchen area and pine table to seat four. The bedroom is well furnished with two single beds, bedside tables with lamps, dressing table and a wardrobe The tiled bathroom has a wc, double basins, a shower and heated towel rail.

Leave the apartments by their secure private gate and you are at once in the typically Gascon town of Condom - rich in history, ancient buildings, museums and Roman artifacts. It is dominated by the magnificent cathedral of Saint-Pierre and bisected by the River Baîse, still with the quays once used to load barges with Armagnac brandy en route to Bordeaux. Restaurants and cafes abound to suit all tastes and pockets. Good shops and a twice-weekly market are on the door step for all self-catering needs.
Just outside the town lies the beautiful countryside of The Gers - the very heart of Gascony. No suburbs, no industry, just gently rolling farmland and woodland interspersed with Bastide villages, fortified towns, ancient religious buildings, Chateaux and Gallo-Roman sites. They are all there to be savoured and enjoyed by those with an interest in history and a love and appreciation of countryside, culture, architecture, good eating and above all, a joie de vivre!
