The house itself has ample facilities to prepare, cook and enjoy meals made from the local produce found in the village shops and larger supermarkets. You could easily stay at home, eating and drinking well every evening.
However, the Haute Pyrenees is also full of gastomonic delights, for those who fancy travelling and those who want to stay local. On your travels you will also see many auberges and restaurants, too many to mention here.
Of course the whole of France is famous for its wine and vineyards. If you look out the front door of the house you can't avoid them. Obviously there are many Caves in the area and there's nothing to stop you trying them all.
Here are a few though to help you plan your days and nights out.
Bon Appetit!!
