area off which is a double bedroom with en-suite
facilities, which can be shared (while maintaining
privacy) with others in the house.


The view from this bedroom enables one to sit up in
bed and look straight out onto mount Canigou.
Snow covers the mountain in winter and may remain
till into June. A second bedroom has twin beds and
a charming view up the typical village path.

your milk and "baguette" for breakfast having been
for your morning walk!

The house is comfortable for four people, but the
