About this property
Beyond the sweeping landscapes of Gascony, Château Mézard rises with regal poise from 42 acres of private estate. This wonderfully restored 13th-century château offers the rare chance to step into a slice of French history, where timeless architecture meets high-end comfort. With panoramic views across undulating Gers countryside and a south-facing façade, every detail of this home invites lingering afternoons, long feasts and unhurried moments.
Inside, original stonework, vast fireplaces and period features have been preserved and elevated with understated sophistication. Seven individually styled bedrooms, including a magnificent master suite with private balcony and loggia terrace, ensure space and privacy for up to 12 guests. The living areas feel both grand and welcoming, with a formal dining room, a library, games room and a tower chill-out room upstairs. The kitchen is classic Gascony: warm, generous and exceptionally well-equipped, opening out to a vine-draped courtyard and summer dining room that comes alive in the evening glow.
Days here unfold with gentle rhythm. Wander through the formal gardens, take a book to one of the many terraces or float lazily in the private, heated pool as the valley stretches beyond. Table tennis, snooker and a wine store promise relaxed entertainment, whilst daily maid service ensures effortless comfort throughout your stay.
Set near the hamlet of Saint-Mézard, the château is a short drive to the medieval village of La Romieu and a little further to the lively market town of Condom. The region is rich in seasonal festivals, music and heritage, offering easy access to the bastide villages of Fourcès, Montréal and Larresingle, the abbey at Flaran, and the famed cathedral at Auch. Local cuisine, rooted in Gascon tradition, delights with its bold flavours and conviviality.
Whether exploring the wider region or staying closer to home, Château Mézard offers a rare blend of grandeur, charm and authentic French living.
In the heart of Gascony’s rolling countryside, Château Mézard offers guests a beautiful retreat just moments from the hamlet of Saint-Mézard, around a 30-minute drive from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport.
With golden cornfields and flourishing vineyards, this is a corner of south-west France steeped in beauty and rural charm. With a mild microclimate and a landscape that remains verdant throughout the seasons, the setting is enchanting throughout the year.
Just a short drive away lies the characterful village of La Romieu (10km), home to a unesco-listed cloister as well as a bakery, grocery store, newsagent and two restaurants. A little further brings you to the lively market town of Condom (21km), with its wealth of amenities including supermarkets, shops, cafés and excellent restaurants. Throughout spring and summer, the region comes alive with colourful local fêtes and bustling weekly markets, giving visitors a taste of Gascon hospitality at its best.
Explore the trio of ‘Plus Beaux Villages’ – the medieval beauty of Larresingle (27km), the charming arcaded square of Fourcès (34km) and the bastide town of Montréal (37km). Venture to Lectoure (14km), known for its thermal spa and vibrant antiques market, or pick up Gascon delights at the weekly market in Fleurance (22km), not far from Golf De Fleurance (28km) for keen sport lovers. Further afield. Vic-Fezensac (47km) hosts lively summer night markets and traditional bullfighting festivals, offering a truly authentic slice of regional culture.
For day trips, the historic cathedral city of Auch (47km) is not to be missed, home to the awe-inspiring stained glass windows and intricately carved choir stalls of Sainte-Marie Cathedral. Culture lovers will also enjoy the Abbaye de Flaran and the exquisite Roman mosaics at the Villa of Séviac, both within easy reach. Alternatively, head north to the historic town of Agen (26km) with its lively town centre, museums and canal-side walks.
Whether you’re sipping Armagnac on a shaded terrace, exploring timeworn villages or simply soaking in the historic surroundings, Château Mézard is perfectly positioned for guests to discover the best of the Gers – a land of warm-hearted locals, fine food and natural beauty.
