La Boubée du Bois
Situated outside the village of Garbic, in the commune of Monferran-Savès, this lovely isolated stone farmhouse epitomises the peaceful rural setting. Halfway between the towns of L'Isle Jourdain and Gimont, whether taking the main national road (RN124) or the smaller "old" road, follow the map and indications - there are very few signposts!
