About my area

I live in the lovely town of Bagneres de Luchon an old established spa town in the Haute-Garonne department in the Occitanie region of south-western France. Luchon has a lively and cosmopolitan feel which embraces many adventure sports as well as offering traditional spa treatments. The centre of Luchon has a number of street cafés and brasseries. It is well equipped with shops and there is an excellent market. Luchon offers you the chance to enjoy a great days skiing at the ski station of Superbagnères, accessed by cable car from the town, followed by the ultimate indulgence of a relaxing spa treatment to ease those aching joints. Nestling at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains Luchon offers plenty of other outdoor pursuits including cycling, hiking, walking, paragliding, rafting and many more. It is a truly summer and winter destination. The surrounding mountain villages offer amazing views of soaring peaks making a magnificent backdrop. With Spain, Andorra, the Atlantic and the Med all within reach, we will never be short of ideas for something to do from a base in Luchon. There are many locations in the region that are well worth looking at for both holiday and permanent homes.

About me

When we first looked for a holiday home in France we wanted a “project” in the countryside with a large garden. We ended up with a brand new apartment in a beautiful traditional building in the lovely town of Bagneres de Luchon. It just shows, you arrive with an idea and it can often change dramatically. We now live, full time, at the foot of the Pyrenees with hot and sunny summers, snowy winters with bright blue skies and a particularly beautiful autumn time. Because the area attracts those looking for the outdoor lifestyle, it does have a very cosmopolitan feel with people from around the world settling here amongst the helpful and friendly locals. Sometimes we have to pinch ourselves to see if we really live in such a beautiful region, but if you are interested in joining us here in Midi-Pyrénées, contact me and I will do my very best to find you the perfect French property.
