NOTES on
our budget
family holidays :
- comfort is simple but there's all you need : a dish-washer and a
washing-machine
- living room, bath-room and sleeping rooms can be
heated. The boilers heat the shower-room and WC's. If you're coming for
a winter stay, ask Danielle to heat beforehand.
- There's no sheets or blankets : bring
your sleeping bags with you its easier for a one or two days hike too.
- In the garden you could barbecue
- last but not least : One can feel at home in our self catering
guesthouse as well in a group as on
one's own. The house is large enough to alternate being together and
on your own. According to the number of people one can use one or more
rooms. The fire-place invites to meditate gazing into the flames as well
as to reading and gathering for a drink or a game.

How
to get to your self catering group accommodation in the Pyrenees ?
- by car by
the A66 (Toulouse,
Pamiers), the N20 (Foix,
Tarascon sur
Ariège) and the D8 (Tarascon
sur Ariège,
Capoulet).
One can get
to Miglos from Niaux
but driving along the D8 until Capoulet is
easier : turn the litle
road up to your left, about 1 km and there you are. Our house looks like
it is on the photo.
- by train : several night trains from Paris to Toulouse and one of them going through to Tarascon sur Ariège. At Tarascon
station ask for a taxi.
- Although you can get here by train or by plane (Toulouse or
Carcassonne) staying at the house you need
a car (of course not if you're booking a hike) : shops are in Tarascon (about 10' by car)
