Michouat is a traditional L-shaped Gascony farmhouse, with the family living in one side and the livestock and winter stores in the other. It remained a working farm until the end of the 1990’s when the barn side of the property was tastefully converted into a Pyrenees holiday Gîte [Guest House]. The facilities include a swimming pool, jacuzzi, hammock and private outdoor area, as well as access to the gardens of the property.We can supply bed linen and towels if required for 12 euros per person. Our Chambre D'Hotes has 2 rooms. The “Lavande” room sleeps up to 2 people (one double bed) with a private ensuite WC/Bathroom. The “Rose” Room can sleep up to 4 people (one double and one twin/double bed). The room has it's own private WC/Bathroom next door. We offer breakfast, bed linen, bathroom towels, selected toiletries, bottled water, hair-dair-dryer and bathrobes. A high chair and/or a cot are available.

We have been together for 14 years, many of them working in professional high pressure environments. When the opportunity arose for a different direction in life, we decided this was the gateway to do what we do best which is to provide great hospitality, spend the majority of the time living outdoors and to give visitors a fantastic holiday experience, all against the backdrop of a more tranquil way of life, meeting new people and embracing a new culture. Our aim is to treat guests as individuals in a relaxed atmosphere in beautiful surroundings and offer excellent cuisine if required.
