Since 2015, I have lived in Ariège, in France's Midi-Pyrenees, in the ancient Cathar country. It is a true delight. It is wonderfully beautiful here. Since my love, who still lives mostly in the Netherlands, and I, also wish others to have a good time, we are happy that we can now welcome people in our own gîte. Our house is on the edge of a hamlet in the mountains where it is very low radiation. No direct reception. We have installed cable connections throughout the cottage that are connected to our own live-box. - Are you or are you ready for a vacation? - Do you want to recover, recharge your batteries? - Do you need time for reflection? - Do you want to write a book or your (business) plan in peace and quiet? - Do you want to go hiking or biking in the mountains? - Do you want to do nothing? - Do you need an energetic massage - Or a good conversation with me? I am a coach and trauma healer, among other things. Are you alone or with your sweetheart, friend or girlfriend. You are most welcome. kind regards, Margot

Nature and surroundings

Ariège is truly beautiful. Beautiful high and low mountains, unspoiled nature, mountain lakes and waterfalls, special historical sites, medieval villages, nice markets, delicious cakes and much more. Well worth discovering. Our house, which includes the cottage, is located 22 km from the capital of the Ariège: Foix. Then 120 km below Toulouse and 120 above Andorra. You can fly to Blagnac/Toulouse. Daily flights. When you are here, I will be happy to tell you what we ourselves find worth doing and visiting.

    In the village itself , Laborie, there is nothing at all. A road runs through and that's it. The car is required for everything you want. If you cannot walk well it is not a suitable place.

    The cottage was wonderful. Carefully and colorfully decorated. Lots of art on the walls. The living space as well as the sleeping space pleasant. All the trimmings. Pleasant interaction with the owners. Beautifully maintained terrace and garden.

    The house is excellently equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. What really stands out, however, are the beautiful works of art hanging on the walls. These give the space a unique, personal touch that makes the stay even more special. The combination of functional amenities and artistic atmosphere makes this house highly recommended for anyone looking for a special experience. The location is not only comfortably furnished, but also an ideal base for exploring the rich surroundings of Ariège. The region offers an abundance of historic towns like Mirepoix and Foix, beautiful castles like Montségur, and breathtaking nature with mountains, waterfalls and caves like the Cave of Niaux[1][2][3]. Moreover, you can enjoy various outdoor sports such as hiking, rafting and paragliding, making Ariège a perfect destination for both culture and nature lovers.

    The location of the cottage is truly beautiful, with breathtaking views that immediately give you a sense of tranquility. The cottage itself exudes warmth and coziness, making you feel right at home. The owners, Margot and Arjen, make your stay extra special with their hospitality and personal approach. They welcome you as if you were part of the small community in the village, making for a unique and welcoming experience. For me, the stay was part of a retreat, and thanks to Margot's professional experience, I received tremendous support. Her expertise allowed me to achieve my goals and experience profound personal growth. This combination of a beautiful setting, a comfortable stay and the warm welcome makes this vacation home a place to definitely return to.
