In the rolling countryside of the Haute-Garonne, La Rouquette enjoys a secluded position not far from the border of the Gers and Tarn-et-Garonne. Surrounded by golden fields, this countryside escape sits near the charming market towns of Mauvezin (22km) and L’Isle-Jourdain (23km), offering guests easy access to the best of the region’s rural charm and practical conveniences.

Just over 1.5km from the house, the beautifully restored Château de Drudas offers an elegant hotel dining experience, along with a luxurious spa, jacuzzi, sauna and treatment room. Guests can walk there in around half an hour, following remote country roads (no pavements) or it’s a 3-minute drive.

A short 10-minute drive brings you to Cadours (6.5km), where you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay – from a large supermarket and pharmacy to petrol stations, bars and restaurants. Both Mauvezin and L’Isle-Jourdain offer further amenities, lively markets and excellent dining options, whilst the Michelin-starred Le Puits Saint-Jacques is half an hour by car.

There’s no shortage of things to explore locally. A short drive takes you to the striking Château de Laréole (9km), a 16th-century castle with ornate French gardens. The medieval bastide village of Cologne (14km), with its timber-framed houses and atmospheric streets, is another nearby gem. L’Isle-Jourdain (23km) is a delight for families and foodies alike, with a scenic lake, golf course, thrilling water sports and a vibrant Saturday market.

Crossing over to the Gers, this area is renowned for its idyllic countryside, dotted with vineyards, sleepy villages and bustling market towns like Mauvezin, where a buzzing Monday market fills the medieval square with colour and character. The town hosts summer festivals celebrating garlic, food and music, with entertainment for all ages.

For a change of pace, day trips to the cultural hubs of Toulouse (40km), Auch (50km) or Agen (80km) are within easy reach, offering a rich tapestry of museums, cathedrals and regional gastronomy, before returning to the serenity of La Rouquette’s rural surroundings.
