Meet your hosts

Ana and Nigel believe that La Joie de Vivre is outdoor recreation accompanied by relaxed luxury, excellent food and wine and a large dose of relaxation.

Located in the beautiful countryside

A converted barn that lies in the grounds of an 150 year old Maison d’Maitre in the heart of a region famed for its gastronomy (Confit de Canard), wine (Madiran) and spectacular Pyrenean mountain views.

Informal, relaxing elegance and an altogether unique French experience awaits you.

Le Joie de Vivre is a completely independent second house, comprising 3 bedrooms, a large living room, a luxury granite-finished kitchen dining room, a covered veranda with views of the Pyrenees and two separate shower rooms. You can also enjoy our 12m x 6m salt water swimming pool, which is heated between May and October.
