Our Parc

The restoration of the Château has been completed and many new facilities have been developed.

The Château is the focal point of the estate and houses the reception, restaurant, bar and golfshop.

	The new bar, adjacent to the restaurant, has a pleasant atmosphere. It has a side-door to the outside terrace, so you can take your drinks in the open air when the weather is nice (very often!).
	The golfshop

There is a large outside terrace where you can enjoy a drink or a meal.

The Château has two annexes. One of them hosts the laundry, the ‘health centre’ and the youngster's club with pool table, pin ball machine, table tennis, etc. We are still planning what additional facilities to put in the other annexe.

	The youngster's club, to the left the entrance, right the video room and the play table.
	The toys cupboard and the room for the little ones.

The 'health centre' with fitness equipment, saunas, showers and toilets.

Adjacent to the Château there are two large swimming pools, plus a shallow one, ideal for toddlers. There are ample areas around the pools for lounging and relaxing. In addition there are: two tennis courts, a mini golf course, a field for petanquer (jeu de boule) and a toddler's playground.

Your own laptop has to be programmed for wireless Internet.

To avoid annoyances we ask everybody to observe a few rules: during lunch the service should not be used on the terrace facing the swimming pools.

Satellite TV

We are pleased with the number of TV channels we can watch in the Parc: several Dutch, French, English and German. And as an extra our own channel: Château TV.
How is that possible?
On the south slope next to the Château are three satellite dishes: one for analogue signal, and two for digital signals. The signals are passed on to a little room behind the Reception .The black boxes are the tuners for the digital signals. To the right a computer that continually runs a PowerPoint presentation for the Château-TV. Sylvia will daily download the latest weather forecast from Internet to update the slide show. More to the left the computer screen and a small TV screen to check the quality. Aart Nobel co-ordinates the technique.

Our water

The drinking water for the Gers, and that includes us in the Parc, will, from 17 April 2001 onward no longer be sourced from the Save, but will be coming through a 100 km long pipeline directly from the Pyrenees. This plan was heavily promoted by Jean-Jacques Lassave, mayor of Lombez and President of the erstwhile "Syndicat d'adduction d'eau potable de Lombez-Samatan-Saramon". For over 30 years he worked on this plan, which, with help from the government, has cost 81 million French Francs. The water originates from sources 800 meters high near Chalets Saint-Neree - 27.300 cubic meter per day - it is collected near Haute Barousse. La Haute Barousse is a village far away in the Pyrenees, you can find it on Michelin map 169 E3. So from now on we will be bathing in spring water, very fashionable!
