La Closerie de l'Ancien Fournil, in Arcizac Ez Angles
Between Bagnères-de-Bigorre and Lourdes (4 km away), this foothill village enjoys an ideal location for exploring the region and discovering exceptional mountain views along its forest roads. Once at the heart of a thriving milling industry, including that of Bernadette Soubirous's parents, "La Closerie de l'ancien Fournil" (The Old Bakery's Closerie) bears witness to this past. This former farmhouse, with its remarkable heritage, reveals the rural traditions of the Bigorre region through its architecture and the layout of its outbuildings.
"Neo's Refuge," converted into a duplex, already gives you an idea of the roof heights envisioned by the ancients. Can you guess who this Neo is?
"The Globetrotter's Lodge" tastefully restored combines comfort with respect for old buildings.
The two cottages together provide accommodation for groups of 10 people (possibility of extending to 14 people by using the 2 double sofa beds).
The interior of the 2 cottages delights with its spaciousness and clever layout respecting the original wood and stone. Outside, you have access to a shared space between the inner courtyard and the parking lot. The owner, who lives on site, will be happy to give you good advice for your excursions.
