Le Gargantua Cooking School | Renovated farmhouse
Despite the derelict state of this 1850 stone farmhouse when we first saw it in 2004, it was love at first sight! We renovated it for 3 years, keeping all the original features and eventually opened in 2007. Our guesthouse, Le Gargantua, is located in the tiny village of Anzex, surrounded by glorious sunflower fields, only a couple of minutes drive away from the pine forest of the Landes de Gascogne, and 10 minutes from the pretty market town of Casteljaloux. Check our location page for more information on our region.
