Fantastic Summer Week
This is a great place ran by a gentleman who cares. It is not the most modern, but more so than the photos suggest and it works! We were a group of 19 and it worked really well. The pool is much bigger than it looks on the photos and deep enough to dive, the grounds are magnificent. The chateau is large a d each room commensurately so. Most of all the host is thoroughly decent, honest, quick to communicate and react. Massively recommend

Holiday
Beautiful property - wonderful holiday. Christian very relaxed and helpful. Great venue for a decent sized group. Recommend Mirepoix for supplies, eating out and market. A little further afield is canyoning in the Pyrenees - superb!

Beside hosting guests in the chateau, I farm my land organic with sunflowers and wheat. At Les Pesquies there is also a horse pension.

Play table tennis or basketball. Whether you want to be social, or you want to find a spot where you can be more privat, both is possible.
Les Pesquies is the place you don't want to leave when first you are here.

What makes this property unique

Whether you want to be privat and stay at Les Pesquies, or you want to use Les Pesquies as a base, from which to explore this beautiful region during your holidays, both is possible.

I'll be happy to welcome you.
