My temporary house in Armagnac. It's an old, old mansion that has housed the same family for several hundred years. Currently the home to M. et Mme. Bouglon. That is Baron Phillipe de Bouglon.
The house is simply gorgeous. It's set in the smack middle of Labastide D'Armagnac (a booming town of nearly 700 residents) just behind the public park and the big catholic church. At the Chateau, Mme. Bouglon cooks breakfast for all the visitors (not so many during my stay, just a few others kids, mostly helping with farmhouse repairs and whatever else). The breakfast is fresh orange juice, freshly baked bread, eggs from her hens, and bacon from her pigs, cooked by her, in the kitchen. Oh my many many many many gods, what a treat! The rooms of course were stunning, several old pianos and old busts of old dead family members, oh and did I mention... Housemade Armagnac!?!?!?
I HIGHLY recommend anyone going there if you have the availability!
