This property, comprising two renovated stone houses, is located on the Saint-Jean-de-Laur plateau along the GR65 long-distance hiking trail to Santiago de Compostela. It offers spectacular views and a prime location on the edge of the path, within the protected natural setting of a Regional Natural Park.
