Description inside property: Open all year round, a beautiful Béarnaise barn, dated 1760, newly renovated into two separate family sized gites. Our self contained, self catering gites offer the perfect holiday accommodation in the pyrenees. Both gites show original stone walls and the original exposed oak beams. The Garden Gite has one large bedroom, which sleeps two with space for a child’s foldaway bed, with an en-suite bathroom on the first floor. On the ground floor, the cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen area leads directly onto its own exclusive decked out area with table and chairs in the tranquil garden, where you can sit back and enjoy a lunch, dinner or a glass of wine taking in the exceptional views of the Pyrenees mountains.
Description outside property: The entrance to the gite opens onto its own exclusive decked out area with table and chairs in the tranquil garden, where you can sit back and enjoy a lunch, dinner or a glass of wine taking in the exceptional views of the Pyrenees mountains. The secluded garden is shared with just one other gite, which is surrounded by the typically French countryside with an attractive swimming pool at the far end and stunning views of the mountains. Available are tables and chairs and also sunloungers by the pool and the use of a barbeque for those warm balmy evenings. The gites are superbly located in the quiet village of Issor, with just a short stroll over the pretty stream to its own bar/café and shop. But also just 10mins drive to the picturesque town of Oloron-Sainte-Marie with everything you need. A good choice of supermarkets, boutiques, cafes and restaurants and a typical French market every Friday. The bread lady delivers to the property five mornings a week opening her van doors to a wonderful mouth-watering array of fresh breads, croissants and cakes to choose from.

Description of local area and activities: Hiking: the famous GR10 trail winds its way through the mountains and there are hundreds of shorter alternatives whether it's a few hours or a week of walking that you are looking for. Horse-trekking: treks through the Pyrénéan foothills including overnight camps and special junior excursions. Fishing: the mountain streams are well-stocked with plump freshwater fish. International salmon and trout fishing tournaments are regularly hosted here. Birdwatching: the Pyrénées is one of Europe's last natural habitats for golden eagles and there is a Vulture Look-out Centre. Cycling: the Tour de France carves a particularly sadistic route through the Pyrénées. In 2006 and 2007, the tour came through the village of Issor. There are an abundance of tracks for mountain biking or VTT as it's known in France. Golf: Continental Europe's oldest course is located at the city of Pau. Mountain pursuits - why walk in the mountains when you could climb up them, absail down them or parascend over them? There are numerous white-water rafting and canyoning centres in the area. Wine-tasting: the foothills south of Pau are home to the excellent Jurançon vineyards. Whites and rosés are the main attraction - the sweet white is an excellent alternative to the more famous Sauternes, also of south west France. Rioja country is not far over the border into Spain. Not forgetting Skiing of course. We are only a 40 minute drive from the beautiful ski resort of La Pierre St Matrin. Several other resorts are within easy reach including Spanish resorts.

| Notes: We are ideally situated for golfing holidays and golf is a boom sport here in France and has been for 10 years or so now. In fact, the game of golf in France, started in Aquitaine. What’s more, golf in continental Europe started in Aquitaine! Pau Golf Club (founded 1856) was the first course built in Europe outside of the British Isles. And Biarritz Le Phare (founded 1889) was the second! Seven of Aquitaine's 40+ courses date back to pre-war times. |

|
| Notes: We are just 35mins door to door, from the beautiful ski resort of La Pierre Saint Martin. Settled on the west of the Pyrenees, at a height of 1650 meters, La Pierre Saint Martin is a ski resort with a magnificent landscape. It has a lovely village nestled in a beautiful pine forest. At the bottom of the slopes, face the famous Pic d'Anie, with a panoramic ski field benefitting from the warm sunshine. It's a perfect place for everyone to ski, families and children. |
