The house is located on the outskirts of the village of Loures-Barousse, on grounds of 2800 square meters. The center of the village, around the church, is a few hundred meters from the house. Here you'll find a pharmacy, a hairdresser, two bakers and a bar, a local market every Friday morning. The Barousse people are proud of their cheese: Le Barousse! a delicious, spicy cheese made from sheep's or cow's milk (or a mix). Originally from Sost, a nearby mountain village.
Of course it is available every Friday morning at the market in Loures-Barousse, as well as other fresh vegetables, fruit, sausages and bread from local producers.
The market takes place 150 meters from the house, in front of the picturesque church, which indicates every hour (twice) the time.

Reviews
Andre from Goedereede,
Mooie ligging, heerlijke grote tuin, handige winkels (supermarkt, bakker) op 5 min. loopafstand.
1e verdieping is erg laag (pijnlijk voor Hollanders (+1.85m) bedden zijn slecht.
Badkamer in orde maar wat spartaans, keuken is ZEER compleet, stoelen en bankstel zijn niet best.
Zolang je buiten kan zitten gaat het goed :-)
Restaurants, food & wine
Further on in the village a pizzeria, restaurant, hairdressers, a bank and a flower shop. Further on you will find the supermarket (Shopi) and the post office. Opposite there is also a small bookstore where you can have a Dutch newspaper delivered within 2 days. There is also an Office du Tourisme in Loures-Barousse and a bar. Everything within walking distance.
There is a train station in the village where a train stops twice a day.
Activities
A few kilometres to the south are Montrejeau and St. Gaudens, each with a train station. Loures-Barousse itself is situated on the river Garonne, with its sister village Barbazan on the other side of this river. Two quiet villages of regional importance at the beginning of the Val D´Aran, the valley of butterflies, formed by the Spanish Ríu Girona (Garonne).
There are beautiful walks in the immediate vicinity, for example to the picturesque artist village of Saint Bertrand de Comminges, or walking into nature along one of the many tributaries of the Garonne, towards the "land of bears" (Pays de l'ours). By car you can reach the world-famous Lourdes or the metropolis of Toulouse within an hour. Nearby are Saint Gaudens, Montrejeau and Lannemezan, larger towns where you will find modern shops as well as weekly markets, second-hand shops (Emaus) and antique dealers. Closer is a good swim in one of the mountain lakes (Loures-Barousse, Barbazan, Montrejéau), and in winter the ski slopes of Nistos, Suberbagnières de Luchon or Le Mourtis can be reached within half an hour by car.
The "Pic du Midi", highest point of the French Pyrenees (2,877 m), only 85 km from Loures-Barousse is also worth a visit.
