Description

In a small village at the foot of the Ossau Valley, we welcome you to our family farm.
Forest, lakeside or meadow will welcome you during your stay.
A place in the heart of nature.

The setting

We're on the heights of the village of Lys, facing south and the Pyrenees. You'll be welcomed on a farm where you can choose your pitch according to availability.
A wooded lake fed by a spring, meadows, forests more or less remote from our home and the farm.

The spots

Under the woods, on a meadow or on the edge of a farm near walnut trees, see the visuals.

The sanitary facilities

Outside cold water hose. Water can be heated with a kettle in the roulotte. We have a chemical toilet in the roulotte and a dry toilet in the woods, 500m from the farm. (Outdoor toilet subject to natural and climatic hazards).

The amenities

One caravan is equipped with fridge and induction hob. Sink in the roulotte but no water supply, cold water outside with hose connection. The roulotte is equipped with a toilet. Electricity is available inside the roulotte with two sockets. We can supply you with eggs, vegetables and meat from the farm at any time.

The activities

We're farmers, so you can discover our animals and farming activities. We have a lake, forests and natural areas that invite you to rest, stroll and relax. We're a 30-minute drive from Lourdes and its sanctuary, and a 30-minute drive from Pau, home to the Château d'Henri IV. We're at the gateway to the Ossau Valley. This is a mountainous region with a wealth of hiking trails, agricultural and rural heritage, and a wide range of sporting activities, including zip-lining, canyoning, horse-riding and rock-climbing. We're a 45-minute drive from the Col du Pourtalet (Spanish border), with its shops and the Pic du Midi d'Ossau. Just 5 minutes away, the Bains de secours, a treatment center, welcomes you to its Roman baths or for a massage. The town of Nay is a 15-minute drive away, with a magnificent market open on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. Asson zoo is 10 minutes from our farm.

Other things

The farm has several areas where you can set up camp. However, to take advantage of its facilities, water and electricity, the roulotte is set up close to the farm. If you want to be in the heart of nature, you'll have to move around to get to the roulotte. The best location is on the heights of the farm, under an oak wood, 500 m away. Please note that we're in the countryside, with agricultural activity! If you don't like nature, insects and walking, and if you're very strict about mowing the grass, this is not the place for you.


Rules

Do not use meadows grazed by animals.
Do not frighten the animals.
Leave the natural area clean.

  • The setting is idyllic for our van-camping experience, and we're in communion with nature. Marie makes everything available for us to experience wonderful moments. THANK YOU

  • In the rain we had a great week, Marie set us up close to the farm so we didn't get bogged down! Thanks a lot!

  • A great place with a great view of the mountains.
    Very accommodating host considering the weather conditions.

  • Superb night with a view of the countryside.
    We were very well received.
    Quiet place.
    Very good products in store.

  • We had a great time, with a beautiful 360-degree view. The little dogs are very cute.

  • A very warm welcome from Marie and her two little dogs.

    A pleasant night's sleep and waking up to the Pyrenees...simply perfect.

  • A great week on Marie's property. A must for anyone wishing to reconnect with nature and wake up to a view of the mountains. Thank you for your warm welcome and for petting Jack ;)

  • A beautiful place to start your road trip in the Pyrenees!

  • The grounds are superb (view of the Pyrenees, total peace and quiet). We spent our first night in a van at Marie's house, and it was a magical experience. Marie's little dogs were adorable (one spent the night with us). And Marie helped us out with bread.

  • Very warm welcome from Marie. A relaxing and ideally located place. We'll be back! +++

  • Marie is a very pleasant host. Her property is in the middle of a magical setting. We will come back if we come back in this beautiful region.

  • We had a great weekend at Marie's house. The site is located in an idyllic setting, with a magnificent view of the mountains. Dry toilets were available, as well as a trailer with a hotplate and a small fridge that served us well during the heat wave.
    Thank you Marie for the welcome, we will be happy to come back soon!

  • Very good stay despite the rain, the place was very nice!

  • Wonderful stay in this mountain area. Nice welcome by Marie's parents and by Pauline who listed us some beautiful visits and walks. If the opportunity arises we will come back with great pleasure!

  • Magnificent setting with a panoramic view of the mountains. Impression to be alone in the world. Very nice welcome.
    Small drawback: complicated to move on foot because of the too high grass

  • Very beautiful site where the camping is in the middle of the meadows where there is a dry toilet. Very quiet. The other facilities are located 500 m from Marie's house. The access to the water is done by a simple pipe in a meadow to wash the dishes and to wash. There is a small trailer with a hotplate, a kettle, a refrigerator and a chemical toilet. Sink not functional. It's a pity that the caravan is not more practical and is so poorly equipped. The fact that the site to put the tents is far from the trailer is not very annoying. Excessive price due to the lack of equipment.

  • An incredible view on the mountains and a calm...
    Thank you for this moment
    Lionel & céline

  • Thank you for your welcome! The location at the top of the lot is great with an exceptional view! I recommend it.

  • Magnificent spot in mode alone in the world.
    The view of the mountains is just splendid.
    We loved the location at the top of the hill, but be prepared for some logistics for water and access to the fridge in the trailer which is 500 meters away.
    Marie and her husband were very accommodating.
    Remember to ask for possible arrival and departure times in advance.
    Very nice memories.
    Thank you very much.

  • Thank you for your welcome. We had a pleasant stay.

  • We stayed at Marie's for one night, it was an amazing setting, a lot of space (an entire hill with a beautiful view on the Pyrenees) a calm and stress free area. Marie's family was very welcoming and very kind. We have to come back ! <3

  • Great! In the middle of nothing usual, and everything essential: calm, forest, mountain, nature, singing cows, campfire ... We have A-DO-RE
    Very pleasant and accommodating welcome. We highly recommend it.

  • Very pleasant stay, quiet in the north of the woods with a magnificent view. Access to just the essentials elec and water + chemical toilets if needed. The cows are good company and calm. Very nice welcome with a smile and advice on visits and cheese dairies in the area. Great experience camping on a farm at the gateway to the mountains!

  • What a beautiful place, in the middle of nature, magnificent view, a must-see!

  • A real little piece of paradise! We were able to pitch our tent at the top of the meadow with a 360° view of the mountains. It was magical! We were in the middle of nature, like alone in the world. Absolute calm guaranteed! We highly recommend it !

  • Very good welcome at Marie's place. The place is just superb, we were able to put our tent a little further with a breathtaking view of the mountains!
