About Us

 In 2021, we discovered a healthy desire to live somewhere that offered a completely different pace of life than our family home in central London.  Ian and I sought a location that would also provide an ideal environment for our favourite hobbies: cycling, skiing, hiking, horse riding, and exploring new places.  We considered several areas where at least one of us spoke some of the language and eventually zeroed in on the Pyrenees while watching the Tour de France.  The Pyrenees caters for all our outdoor activities and offers even more that we hadn’t thought about before coming here.  We settled on Bagneres de Luchon as it is a regular destination for the Tour, has some fabulous cycling both on the road and in the mountains, the skiing is on our doorstep, and the hiking is breathtaking.  Luchon also boasts the charm and beauty of Haussmann-style buildings, as well as its famous spa and thermal baths.   Luchon and all that surrounds it have been welcoming people for years, to the extent that it has earned the nickname “Queen of the Pyrenees”.  Whether it is to enjoy the restorative powers of the Thermes or the pursuit of outdoor activities that draw you, the Pyrenees and Bagneres de Luchon is a magical place for everyone.
