The Pyrénées and Spain are less than an hour’s drive away, as are the golden sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast. |
|  | | Set in seven acres of private grounds, Domaine-de-Lavie dates back to the time of Gaston Febus in 1376. The house was first owned by Pierre Seigneur-de-Lavie, after whom the surrounding area was also named. |  | ![Grounds & woodlands [click to enlarge] Grounds & woodlands [click to enlarge]](http://www.domaine-de-lavie.com/sites/letsites/clients/lavie/photos/lavie_030_.jpg) |

|  | | The Domaine’s former farm buildings and coach house have recently been converted into five independent holiday cottages, each with its own private terrace. |  | ![Domaine-de-Lavie from the air [click to enlarge] Domaine-de-Lavie from the air [click to enlarge]](http://www.domaine-de-lavie.com/sites/letsites/clients/lavie/photos/lavie_050_.jpg) |
