Welcome to
La Joie de Vivre

La Joie de Vivre lies in one of the most beautiful, varied and fascinating parts of France, surrounded by the beautiful Pyrenees mountains, the legendary Bordeaux wine region, the Mediterranean coast, the friendly and relaxed elegance of Pau and the Atlantic surfing mecca of Biarritz.

La Joie de Vivre was built in 1851 and is a classical French Maison de Maitre. The barn has been beautifully renovated to provide a luxurious gîte with views over 1.5 hectares of wooded parkland, which include a swimming pool and the walls of the former chateau.
