Why they chose this property

We had settled on Le Roussillon as the ideal place to live. Beautiful, unspoilt mountains, the Mediterranean and lovely climate. Peaceful yet with a vibrant traditional culture. After 3 years of looking we found Le Paloumé in the southernmost valley in France, next to the Spanish ( Catalan) boarder.
Perfect for our new 'Good life' of trying to be self-sufficient away from the pressures of the city, and a healthy life for us and our sons.

What makes this property unique

The spirit is uplifted every morning on leave the house and seeing the Pyrénéan Mountains spread before you in the distance, the views cannot be described, you need to see for yourself. Facing south we get the sun all day long. The clean air, the fresh spring water, peace and quiet are a joy. This is why Le Paloumé has been a habitation for more than a thousand years and we are only the latest people to enjoy its charms. Traditionally built from stone, the thick walls keep the cottage naturally cool during the heat of the summer and warm in the winter.
