We are at the heart of the Bearn region and our six charming en-suite chambre d'hote rooms and self-contained gite make an ideal base from which to enjoy the area. We are also a year-round Yoga centre and retreat with a number of dedicated weeks during the year (see our PROGRAM page). In Winter, a forty minute drive gets you to the nearest ski station, which is also just a short walk to the Spanish border. Whitewater rafting, horseriding and many other activities can also be pursued in the neighbourhood. For those of a more leisurely disposition, Candeloup is at the heart of the Jurancon wine region, which begs to be explored. |
