Delightful stay in the foothills of the French Pyrenees
So much to tell. For a rural French gite, the house is very well outfitted. All bedding and linens are supplied, and the kitchen is fully equipped with excellent crockery and cutlery.
Your host, Heather Bowman-Taylor, lives in a separate wing of the property and is very tactful about respecting your privacy. Most days we forgot she even lived there.
Heather also has quite the green thumb, and I can’t stress enough how much we enjoyed taking in the distance view from the benches in the very well maintained garden, replete with fruit bearing trees.
If you are so inclined, you might want to get to know Heather a bit. A philosopher friend once remarked to me, “you know, it’s the same woman who runs the B&B everywhere in the world.” Not so Heather. She is unfailingly helpful with any problems that arise during your stay and she clearly has a gene for hospitality. She is always willing to go the extra distance for her guests. Suffice it to say, I now can imagine what it must be like to have Dame Judi Dench as a landlady.
In any case, we would recommend this gite without hesitation to anyone who wants a dignified and tranquil getaway, at a very fair price, in the French Pyrenees. We’ll return for sure.
