Ask a questionAbout Annabel Warburg
Annabel and Thane Warburg are English. They both studied languages at university where they first met. It was Thane's cherished dream - throughout his career - to own a house in the French Pyrenees. As a French teacher and Francophile - he teaches in an English boarding school - he fell in love with the area when visiting it as part of his university course. Annabel and Thane have two sons - James (20) and Angus (16). The whole family love France, mountains and the incredibly friendly local Bearnais.
Annabel Warburg purchased this House in 2004
Why Annabel Warburg chose Ogeu-Les-Bains
We simply fell in love with the house and its situation as soon as we saw it. The magnificent views of the mountains as far as the eye could see to East and West thrilled us - and we never tire of sitting on the terrace gazing at the mountains, the view changing imperceptibly minute by minute. The house's raised elevation above the village means there is always a cooling breeze on even the hottest summer day. We first saw the house on a blistering hot day but were delighted to find it was cool inside. The reverse is also true - we have put in central heating and a wood-burning stove so that it is very cosy in winter. Having a heated swimming pool is a huge luxury as far as we are concerned but we fully appreciate it. We also love the huge garden. The locals are incredibly friendly and the food at the local markets and served in the fine restaurants is delicious.
