I have lived in france , with my husband since 2003 our son was born here in 2007. The house where we live ( just 500m from your holiday house) was nearly a ruin when we arrived we spent our first few years renovating and have been offering holidays and health related courses at the main house since 2005. I never tire of the beauty and peacefulness of our hamlet and local area, I like to walk our dogs and breath in the clean air and gaze at the star filled sky at night. Now I am really excited to offer our newly finished 2nd project - this house 'Le Pidro" may be where we retire to! - not for a few years- but we have renovated it with us in mind. I really enjoy meeting people from all over the world and offering a comfortable, safe and truly beautiful area of natural beauty to experience. So if you choose to book know that you will have a genuine warm welcome.

Le Pidro at Tourné is situated in the forest valley of the River Artillac. The small private mountain stream runs through the and there is access for dipping or paddling or plunging .The local village of Castelnau Durban is 2km, it can be walked along the road that follows the river or it can be reached across an ancient footpath which gives views of the mountains and surrounding area. the village has a bakery and epicerie, a very good restaurant and a tabac as well as a local craft shop which is open in the summer months. The valley is an area of protected environment in the heart of the Parc naturel régional des Pyrénées ariégeoises. In the park there is virtually no industry (1%) , the population is sparse 1 person for every 2km and consequently traffic minimal, with very few cars passing the cottage. There are many walks of astounding beauty that can be made directly from the house. Beautiful wild flowers in spring, stunning walks in summer cooled by the forest. The local voie verte is a recently opened 42km route reserved for cyclists and walkers running from St Girons to Foix. Many local historical sites under 25mins drive and many outdoor activities, hiking canoeing etc
