Le Parede is situated in the rolling hills only 5 minutes drive from the beautiful spa town of Bagneres de Bigorre. The road out of town climbs gently through the unspoilt countryside to our leafy lane, with a stream running alongside, complete peace and tranquillity. We have 22 acres away from it all - with an orchard, trout stream and stunning panoramic views. A haven for wildlife. In the summer the area is a green vibrant landscape of high peaks, rushing streams, lakes and flora - great for walking, cycling and bird watching. In the winter we have some of the best skiing and winter sports facilities in the Pyrenees. A perfect location for touring the central Pyrenees - the famous pilgrimage town of Lourdes is only 20 minutes away. We think we have something special to offer don't just take our word for it - check out our visitors comments on our website (see below).

24/02/2007 - The Eckerstall Family, Charminster, Dorset, UK.
Apartment is great, everything we needed & more. Ideal base for skiing. Had a great time. Thanks for being such good hosts.
25/04/2007 - Lynne & Adrian Ives, Cardigan, West Wales, UK.
We arrived as absolute strangers to Astrid & Barries very well thought out apartment, and left as friends! Wonderful position - a little way up in the hills - so cooler and quieter than Bagneres - which is just a small distance away. The accomodation was absolutely perfect. We are in our 60's and it's by far the best holiday accommodation we have ever rented. We spotted over 20 types of birds here!
23/08/2007 - Carol & David Say, Broadstairs, Kent, UK.
