About the host
Hosted by John and Lee-anne Furness
We left Australia in 1999 to open a B & B in France and in doing so fulfilled a dream to live in Europe. Coming to France they left behind rich and varied employment in teaching, career counselling, marketing, book editing, management, music, commercial cooking and catering. We can now add construction, renovation, and hospitality to that list. After completing the renovations to their new home in France, L'Impasse du Temple was opened in May 2000. Over these 20 plus years we have welcomed thousands of people into our home but overseeing the running of the house as a large group holiday rental is just the change we are looking forward to. The same high standards will be in place but we will let others live in our home whilst we take a discrete back step. We still live on the property in separate accommodation but our profile is very low. We love the history of this house and are proud second owners. We also love this area of France, relatively unknown, but perhaps guarding its treasures well because of that.
Why they chose this property
L'impasse du Temple provides a perfect basis for any type of holiday. Close enough to main towns and cities for transport links or shopping trips, near enough to the mountains for a day's skiing, and well positioned for day trips to the Mediterranean Sea, Spain and Andorra. The active holiday maker is spoilt for choice. This area is criss crossed with bike paths from gentle tracks to demanding hill and mountain climbs. Walkers can follow GR routes, and the St Jacques de Compostelle paths. Other activities in the vicinity include horse riding, bike hire, tennis courts, ultra light flights, sailing, go-karting, fishing, mountain climbing and abseiling, rope climbing courses, yoga classes and photography courses.
For those who wish to take life at a gentler pace many of the walks from the village allows one to wander rather than set a marching pace. Stroll along the tree lined road passed the Chateau de Léran, or along the river. Don't feel any guilt about being indolent. That holiday read beckons. Choose a spot by the pool and enjoy. For the history buffs, you are in Cathar country. Mont Segur can be seen from the road into the village. Short but scenic drives can help you discover that chateau as well as Roquefixade, Foix and Puivert with their associated museums. There are some notable churches as well. The Grotte de Niaux is probably the best known cave in this area but it is one of many that are open to visitors as is the underground river system at LaBouiche. The Prehistoric Park is full of interest for both children and adults alike, and there is a restaurant and picnic area provided.
