Dr M Montagu

After working for 20 years as a medical doctor in a variety of specialities, including psychiatry and general practice, I now live on a small farm in the rolling countryside of southwest France, in an ancient half-timbered farmhouse that has clearly seen several centuries of interesting human decisions. These days my little farm is home to a handful of horses, who occasional horse looking mildly curious about your life choices, a great deal of peaceful silence, and guests who arrive feeling slightly overworked and leave wondering why they don’t live like this all the time.

I host small retreats here for people who want to recharge their batteries and spend a few days reconnecting with nature. Guests walk short, breathtakingly beautiful sections of the Camino de Santiago that wind through this spectacular region of Gascony, then return to the farmhouse for generous Gascon meals and the kind of quiet evenings that modern life rarely provides. I simply provide the setting: the ancient paths, the countryside, and the famously excellent Gascon cuisine, and the horses occasionally supervise the day’s activities with great seriousness..
