La Joie de Vivre
La Joie de Vivre is owned by Ana and Nigel Skinner, who believe that the definition of the Joy of Life is outdoor recreation accompanied by great accommodation, excellent food, wine and a large dose of relaxation.
Located in beautiful countryside
A converted barn – La Joie de Vivre – lies in the grounds of a 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 scenery.
Unspoiled natural beauty
In the the beautiful Haute-Pyrenees region of South-West France, the range of outdoor activities accessible from the front door is endless.
Informal relaxing elegance and an altogether unique French experience awaits you.
La 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 will also be able to access our 12m x 6m salt water swimming pool, heated between May and October. You can find the full details of what will be provided to you at La Joie de Vivre below.
