About us

Your guides and hosts for your trip to the Gers are Chris & George Blenkarn, Christina & Colin McBratney

We moved to the Gers region in April 2003 where we bought Aou Carde, a beautiful 17th century farmhouse with five self-catering gites, you can visit our web-site at www.france-getaway.com

We had been friends for many years and enjoyed numerous holidays in France together with our children. After spending most of our working lives as teachers and accountants we were more than ready for a change.

The Gers region with its unspoilt countryside, timeless villages and fantastic views of the Pyrenees was the ideal choice.

Flying Visits Ltd was the natural progression for us because during our years in France we found a great many house-hunters arriving at Aou Carde who were eager for knowledge and advice. Many of these have bought in the area and are now friends.
