LEstive is situated in the little village of Ercé (300 inhabitants) in the heart of the Garbet river valley. This village is a farming community, even if this activity is tending to diminish nowadays. "Estive" is the word for the high mountain pastures where cows and sheep spend the summer months. I baptised this gîte with this name in memory of my childhood here and specifically the scenes of daily life in our valleys: the herds of cows and sheep filing up the mountain in springtime to the tinkling and clanking of bells and cries of the shepherds. |

The gîte is part of a restored farm on which, not so long ago, my grandfather raised Gascony cows. L'Estive is a small house comprising a groundfloor and a first floor under the roof.
Price includes the electricity, water and firewood as well as sheets and duvets. |
