Eat & Drink

Dining in
Dining at Lous Grits is a family affair. Mother and daughter team Marie and Martine will give you the proposed menu for each evening at breakfast. Everything is cooked to order: expect four courses of regional favourites featuring market-fresh produce. Go native with the fois gras terrine, goose or duck confit.

Breakfast
Get up late blissfully here – breakfast is served until midday. Look forward to organic eggs and cheeses, local honey, and oven-fresh croissants and pancakes.

Room service
Available mornings only.

Activities

See & Do
The Gers region has plenty of culture and history, from the medieval castle at Lavardens to the abbey at Flaran. There are local markets to explore, plenty of golfing links, and the old Pilgrim’s Way to Santiago di Compostela just yards away. You can also play tennis, go biking or boating. 

Take a balloon flight (often with bubbly thrown in) for a bird’s eye view of the region. Unwind and book a treatment at the thermal baths at Lectoure, or check out some local festivals and bullfights.

Spa
De-stress and re-charge with a range of in-room treatments and massages, using subtly fragranced organic plant oils. The nearby Lectoure thermal baths (Centre Termale) also offer a 10% discount on wellbeing and fitness treatments to Lou Grits guests.

Diary Dates
Late July
Get your dancing shoes on for the Tempo Latino salsa festival in Vic-Fezensac.

All Summer
The Jazz Festival in Marciac (78km) is sure to get you rocking.
