We have lived on the Arcachon basin for ten years now and have often criss-crossed the Pyrenees looking for sea/mountain contrasts. This strong and unpredictable nature has always attracted us, to the point of wanting to own a pied-à-terre in the heart of the mountains.
Cazaux Debat, a small and peaceful village, is where we found this stone-built house and undertook to renovate it in the mountain tradition.
We decided to keep the original structure of the building and thereby to create two guest-houses:
Gîte d’Aure which can accommodate 10 visitors, and gîte du Louron with a capacity of 4.
The location is a 5-minute drive from Arreau, a typical Pyrenean village boasting an exceptional heritage – you will enjoy a stroll through its medieval streets. It has all the necessary shops so as to ensure you have a pleasant stay.
Starting from the village, footpaths lead to the neighbouring villages, and will allow you to encounter sheep, cows and horses along the way.
At the crossroads between the Aure and Louron valleys, you can partake of the pleasures of skiing at various resorts : Saint Lary, Peyragudes, Val Louron, or maybe Piau Engaly, only a 20-min drive away.
