| The house is located deep in the heart of
la vallée du Louron (the Louron Valley) in
the
beautiful Hautes-Pyrénées,
perhaps France's best kept secret...
View Across the Genos-Loudenvielle Lake
(Photo taken less than a 5 minute walk from the house)
Using the house as your base, you are within a few
minutes walk of the Genos-Loudenvielle Lake and all the activities that
it provides, a range of sumptuous restaurants, local shops and a Tourist
Information centre, various sports activities, a swimming pool, the Balnéa Spa
(for relaxation, beauty and aromatherapy treatments) and even a Trout
Farm.

Take to the car, and within a few minutes drive you are
a further 1000 metres up the mountain and in some of the best ski fields
the Pyrenees can offer.
The Location
The map above shows the location of the house, indicated
by the pink heart-shape. As can be seen, the two nearest ski resorts are
right on the doorstep and can be reached by just a short drive.
Val Louron, is the perfect ski resort for families
during the ski season (late November to early April, with February
offering the most reliable snow) and opens up as 'Adventure Parc' in the
summer.
Peyragudes offers the experienced skier a more varied
selection of runs.
Regardless of the time of year and if a longer drive is wanted, you can easily make a
pilgrimage to Lourdes, the city of our Lady. Or take a day out and visit the 'Ville Rose' (Pink City)
of Toulouse, either destination being easily reached in well under two hours drive. |
