About this house rental
In the heart of the Hautes-Pyrénées, you'll be staying in a mountain house on the banks of the Neste du Louron river! Ideally situated if you're keen on white-water rafting, hiking & cycling, skiing and fishing.
The gîte is 300m (5mn walk) from the centre of ARREAU, an authentic mountain village at an altitude of 730m .
Very well placed at the confluence of the AURE and LOURON valleys, whether you are sporty or a walker, you can choose between 4 ski resorts (Peyragudes, Val-Louron, St.Lary/Espiaube, Piau-Engaly) and a multitude of hiking trails!
Situated between the two Nestes mountains, Arreau is a gateway to the mythical ASPIN and PEYRESOURDE passes (famous thanks to the Tour de France).
ARREAU is a village with all shops and services: Doctors, dentists, chemist, physiotherapist. Veterinary surgeon, tobacconist and newsagent, post office, bookshop, banks, restaurants, café pub, tearoom etc...
On Thursday mornings, market day, you will have a wide choice of good regional products.
PS: Children may only swim in the river under adult supervision!

The property was as described. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom large with a bathtub. The location was easy walking distance to the village. We had a lovely patio with table in a garden area.
A short walk took us to a river. We sat in lounge chairs enjoying the river and the sun. When we arrived our host and hostess were very attentive. I would stay here again.

We had a great time at this gite from beginning to end. It is very comfortable, very well appointed, in an excellent location in a lovely town, and the owners could not be more helpful. if only the place we went to subsequently in Luz Saint Sauveur (beware Tripadvisor rental for a ‘charming’ apartment in the centre of town) had been a quarter as nice, we’d have been having our best ever Pyrenean holiday. This Arreau rental, as far as my wife and I are concerned, really delivers. Down to the dipper in the river!

The Maison du Cincle (House of the Dipper, although we unfortunately didn’t see one) was a lovely base to explore the Pyrenees with private parking for 2 cars. It has all amenities incl. a huge TV (no English channels), a great washing machine and just about anything else you can think of ! The pretty patio garden is quite private where Jays come for cherries from the tree and hens roam on the other side of the fence. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom with in-bath shower has plenty of hot water. There are electric heaters should the weather turn chilly. The hosts Jacqueline and Jean-Marc are very friendly, helpful and determined to make your stay a comfortable one. Their part of the house is next to the River Neste du Louron. It is quite a torrent and there is a constant sound of water but the holiday house is away from it and after a while you don’t really notice the noise. A pylon crosses over the garden as there is a hydro-electric plant just up the road.You are able to sit by the river at the picnic table if you wish which is pleasant in the evening with a glass of wine!
Arreau is a quiet town in June with a few bars and restaurants (erratic opening hours), our favourite restaurant being L’Arbizon. The town though comes alive on a Thursday for the Market. Nearby are many of the Tour de France mountain tops and a trip to the town of Bagneres-de-Luchon is particularly interesting. Also a 50 minute drive up into the mountains, Egyptian vultures overhead, through the tunnel d”Aragnouet and you are in Spain. Some great walking in the area, birdlife is terrific, many red kites and even the rarer Lesser Kestrel. Also visit the Eagles of Aure, where the birds of prey fly over and among you! 12 days, lovely hosts and glorious countryside...a fantastic holiday!

The accomodation was just what we were after with the most perfect setting by the river. Arreau is a lovely town with plenty of places to sit and have a drink. It all felt very French with hardly a British car or accent to be found

The gite is spacious, clean and well-equipped. It is ideally located on the edge of Arreau and a perfect base for exploring the beautiful Pyrenees. Jacqueline provided a warm welcome and was keen to ensure we enjoyed our stay.

My wife and I had a lovely stay at this property at the end of March. The house was very clean when we arrived and Jacqueline and her family (the owners) were welcoming and friendly. The property is very spacious, well appointed, in a beautiful location and very convenient for the village of Arreau with its shops, bars and restaurants. Entertainment was also provided by the family’s pet goats – especially the two kids which were just two weeks old when we arrived! We rate this as a good place to stay and a very relaxing base from which to explore the Pyrenees around Saint Lary Soulan.
