2 bedroom self catering gite near Foix
3000ft up in the French Pyrenees, our 2 bedroom self catering gite near Foix is surrounded by pastures, woods and mountains. It breathes tranquility and peace, with stunning views of the mountains.
Cumminges is a secluded mountain hamlet, built in the mid 19th Century, which for the past 12 years has been occupied by our family and our guests in the cottage. The hamlet has been restored using traditional materials, local stone, oak and chestnut from our forest, always with the emphasis on conserving the natural habitat and environment.
The hamlet forms an East/West ribbon along the mountainside, and , facing south East, is well placed to catch the early morning sun.
Our mountain spring provides us all with beautiful water.
The different seasons bring forth a wide variety of rare flowers and fauna, and deer, pheasants and wild sanglier (no brown bears yet!) are regular users of our tracks. Birds of prey are ever present.
