Ancienne Poste

• Idyllic village retreat away from the hustle and bustle
• Excellent food and service

Situated in the peaceful village of Avajan in the Louron Valley is where you will find this lovingly restored former village post office. Inviting fireplaces flanked by bookcases that include everything from weighty tomes to blockbuster novels, exposed beams on the ceilings, stone pillars and hand-crafted staircases are all demonstrative of this.

Nestled in the valley just above the babbling Neste du Louron river and surrounded by Pyrenean peaks in all directions, this is a truly stunning setting with an overwhelming 'away from it all' feel - the perfect antidote to modern life!

The former post office is now a luxurious chalet-style hide-away that lends itself perfectly to comfort and relaxation with blazing log fires, sumptuous leather sofas, gastronomic delights lovingly prepared by the in-house French chef and excellent company. The friendly ambience and relaxed feel of the place ensures that you feel immediately at home – whether you are a family, a group of friends or a couple.

The fresh and simple yet cosy rooms are all complimented by modern shower rooms, with many benefitting from juliette balconies and excellent views. Many of the rooms retain some of their original features such as the exposed natural stone.

Outside, the decked terrace with its comfortable furniture is the perfect place to enjoy an aperitif in the setting spring sun as you reflect on the days endeavours and the culinary delights to come!

Just a short drive away are the resorts of Peyragudes and Val Louron - each with something very different to offer. Peyragudes is a modern resort with high speed lifts ensuring you get maximum time on the slopes. The resort of Val Louron is more relaxed with a family orientated feel and stunning views of the 3000m+ peaks that dominate the skyline here.
