Welcome to Les Granges de Lascostes!

Welcome "into the wild", you will appreciate the calm of the forest, the breathtaking view on the bottom of the secret and magical Louron Valley ... my barns are comfortable but not luxurious so come and discover my world where the iPad has been replaced by live videos of deer and hinds, Wi Fi by the whistling of marmots, you will be alone in nature to enjoy a break made in the Pyrenees (4G works very well for your mobile phone)!
