There are numerous activities in the area of the Pyrenees including the well-known pilgrimage town of Lourdes (80kms), the fascinating museum of the Count d’Artagnon (the 4th Musketeer) in Lupiac and of course the beautiful historical rural routes heading to the holy shrine of St. James of Compostella in NW Spain. The country around is a paradise for walking, horse riding and mountain biking.
The local climate is Mediterranean /Atlantic and so for approximately 60-80 days, temperatures are above 25 °C through the summer months.

Even in October the temperature remains very mild. It’s an ideal time to go on holiday when the rest of the world is working
