This is the third successive year we have spent as a family at Montagnac, staying in the Maison d'Artistes. We love the space the property gives us, the ability to disappear off into a quiet corner to read, to play table tennis, snooker, boules, to swim in the warm water of the pool, to walk for miles, to cycle to nearby villages and then to gather together round the large table in the Grande Salle or outside on the rear terrace and enjoy a delicious meal prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. The property really is ideal for a family or group of friends who seek a calm, peaceful environment rather than heady nightclubs or discos, and at present is still ideal for our family group aged 1-73. Summer in the Ariège is the time for fields full of sunflowers and corn, special events in all the villages, canoeing, gentle white water rafting, visits to underground cave systems, canyoning, delicious meals in the market square at Foix or Mirepoix, and car journeys to places like Ax les Thermes to take the chair lift up to the real Pyrenees and the abundance of walks there.
All our contacts with the owner, martin, and the caretaker Christina have been professional and friendly, and any questions have been answered promptly.
Will we be back next year? We are already planning it.
