Prize Competition

Set in the cœur de Gascogne, the Hôtel de Bastard is a delight, not only for its 18th-century setting in the heart of historic Lectoure in Gers but, also, for its gourmet food. Annick and Philippe Birckel are looking forward to welcoming the winner of this exclusive competition for an overnight stay for two with breakfast, dinner, wine and private parking. A beautiful wooden chestnut staircase takes you to a world of comfort in a luxury Junior Suite before dining in the elegant restaurant where chef de cuisine, Philippe, will serve his Menu de Saison with the locally produced Pousse-Rapière aperitif and wine specially chosen to accompany the dishes. Philippe and his team will ensure a menu built around their passion for the region as well as its local wines to provide the most fabulous experience. Close by you will find a variety of different spa and fitness treatments as well as a number of well-trodden walks in Lomagne Gersoise, including the GR65 route to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. Or you could take a trip on the river Baïse, visit the many historical buildings, enjoy an Armagnac tasting or simply relax by the hotel’s pool. This easy-to-enter competition has a prize value of around EUR 300 and, subject to availability, is offered from 10 July to 10 October, 2021. The closing date for entries is 8 July, 2021. No refunds or exchange allowed. This is a competition without obligation to buy – the rules of the competition are deposited with S.C.P.
