Vacation in a holiday home in the French Pyrenees
The French Pyrenees, including La Pierre-St Martin, Barèges & La Mongie, Cauterets, Super-Bagnères, Gourette and Bolquère is a region for all seasons. Lush waterfalls and forests, snow capped peaks and hiking trails are conveniently interspersed with holiday homes to suit all kinds of trips and travellers. What's more, holiday rentals here are just as welcoming as the down-to-earth Pyreneans themselves. Influenced by Basque, Gascan, Mediterranean and Catalan customs, it is not surprising that so many French, Spanish and European families opt for holiday houses in the French Pyrenees.
Forget the Alps
If you're looking for a winter break, travel to southern France where skiers can launch into a breathtaking expanse of freshly fallen snow, not too far from their holiday houses. Seasoned and amateur winter sports enthusiasts are warming up to the cozy holiday apartments of this region, largely ignored by tourists who tend to book holiday rentals in the Alps. A vacation in a holiday home in the lap of the Pyrenees is the perfect base from which to explore.
What to do?
The old spa town of Cauterets is worth a visit if you fancy a 35 degree outdoor steam bath while snow flakes from the night skies fall around you. Besides the customary romp in the snow, why not watch the cosmos in all its glory from the mountain observatories? On a clear day, it's possible to look over 300 kms of peaks, even to the Spanish Pyrenees. Holiday homes often arrange trips and rent out equipment. The region's culinary offerings are equally impressive. Typical southwestern-French cuisine comprises generous portions of sausage, pork, vegetable broth and roast duck.
Vertigo-inducing cliff drops, delicious food options, Romanesque abbeys and princely foothills preside over the majestic French Pyrenees, a destination that awaits you. Book those holiday apartments now.
