Hunting
is one of the true passions of the natives of the Lot-et-Garonne,

the ideal place for hunting, with its vast forests. Stay with us

combinations of the 3. Only Available for a minimum of 2 days

English-speaking team, passionate about nature and totally devoted to
making your experience a memorable one. The domain is 90% woods and 10%
fallow land. Both the land and the animals (hounds and game) are managed
and looked after with great care. They beautifully maintain the estate,
making it an enchanted and peaceful surrounding, for a truely amazing

Fishing
holidays only take place from April to September. They ask that you bring
your own fishing-rod and small fishing materials. There
are 5 ponds on the estate. One has trouts and black bass, the
others have pikes, carps, perches, etc.. The setting is very wild,
and really peaceful. We
take you to the domain in the morning after breakfast. We drop you
off with a picnic basket, refreshments, an umbrella and a fold-up
seat. We collect you around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. |
SMALL
GAME HUNTING:
The
estate offers a wide variety of game birds: pheasants (common, black and
reeves), grey and red partridges, and migratory birds such as woodcocks
and pigeons. Some of the birds are raised on the domain itself, in
really vast enclosures to make sure they stay as wild as possible. The
estate's hounds are available by the day to accompany your party, but
you can also hunt with your own dogs. The
small game is usually hunted with pointers, but can also be hunted with
beaters or from stands if desired. You can hunt alone or in a group,
with a gamekeeper to guide you.
Available
from September to March.
You
get here in the afternoon on day 1. We
share a welcome drink and canapés. We have dinner.
On
days 2 and 3, we take you to the domain in the morning, after
breakfast. Hunting starts
around 9:00 am. You have lunch at the lodge (cost included), then back
to hunting. We collect you around 6 o'clock in the afternoon, bring you
back to the house to relax before dinner.
Departure
is after breakfast on day 4.
BIG
GAME & SMALL GAME HUNTING:
The
big game includes wild boars, roe-deers, brockets, stags, hinds and
fawns. They are raised on site, but naturally, so they are totally wild.
Be sure they will try to foil your every ruse, as they know every square
inch of the estate.
Safety
is maximised: big game hunting is done from 2 meters high shooting
hides. The game is flushed out of the woods by the pack of dogs or with
beaters and fox terriers, as you wish. The quality of the game and the
wide open firing lines insure that even difficult shots can be executed
in the safest possible conditions.
You
also have the possibility to stalk your chosen beast for the trophy of a
lifetime with your rifle or bow.
Available
from September to february, only at weekends. Big game hunting is not
available 2 days on a row. The second day will be small game hunting.
Friday:
you arrive in the afternoon, and settle in. We share a
welcome drink and canapés. We have dinner.

back to the house for the night.
