Peyrusse Grande is located 30 minutes from Marciac, where an international jazz festival is held in August, Toulouse and its international airport is 90 minutes away-The Pyrenees, Andora, Bordeaux, Biarritz, and Spain are all within easy driving distance.

On the first floor, there is a spacious landing leading to two large double bedrooms, an artists studio / 3rd bedroom and a luxury bathroom with deep modern bath tub and Italian shower.
