There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
With 4 bedrooms and 2 spacious bathrooms, our 300 year old stone built traditional mountain farmhouse will welcome you with warmth and hospitality. Situated in the heart of the regional park of the ariege pyrenees, the house is cool in summer and warm in winter due to it's thick stone wall.

Two miles away, our local boulangiere bakes bread twice a day on his wood fired oven. Ask for the Boucheron - you will never eat better bread. His bakery also provides a small convenience store.
Unlike so many properties in the area we are high enough not to have mosquitos. Maybe 1 per year! Sitting out in the evening is a pleasure and not a battle of the chemists!
Surrounded by the breathtaking Pyrenees, there are endless options for hiking, camping, etc.
Sports popular here are hiking, mountain biking, road cycling (le tour de France comes by here almost every year), horse riding, climbing, trout and carp fishing, paragliding, canyoning, white water rafting, skiing, go karting and many many more. All the above pursuits are available a maximum one hour from the houses.
