Pyrenees Mountains 2 Med
Unforgettable "Off the Beaten Track" Experiences from the Pyrenees Mountains to the Mediterranean Sea.
We have lived in the wonderful, diverse Pyrenees for 16 years.
Our home is in a beautiful, hidden valley near the village of Fenouillet 66220 in the Pyrénées Orientales.
We have the essential ingredients for creating a
truly memorable holiday.
Walking from our door there are two castles perched on rocky outcrops, a deep gorge with crystal clear pools, a mixed wood forest with 3 climates in one location. In the main valley there are miles of vines, wine tasting, more castles & gorges. The nearest beach is one hour.
We have travelled extensively throughout the Pyrenees chain.
We have specific expertise in birdwatching, especially raptors, WW2 escape routes and
resistance history, mountain refuges & wild camping.
We are very happy to recommend days out, restaurants, beaches, activities.
Open April to mid-November. Prices from 450 Euros per week 70 Euros per day (min 2 nights). Shared pool & gardens.

Birdwatching & Wildlife
We have specialised for many years in bird watching holidays and have a specific interest in vultures. We are also within the distribution range of many Mediterranean species: Bee-eaters, Hoopoe, Golden Oriole in Summer, Wallcreepers & Crag Martins in Winter. Cranes are part of a mass migration in Spring & Autumn. Not only is there a huge variety but also quantity of birds, especially raptors. A true symbol of the high mountains, the Bearded Vulture is a permanent resident in the French Pyrenees. We support local vulture conservation initiatives.
