eautiful half-timbered house dating from the 12th and 17th centuries, located in the upper part of St Lizier, officially designated "one of the most beautiful villages in France."
From the history of St Lizier, a Gallo-roman city and bishopric of the Couserans, the villa has retained a guards' hall from the 12th century with a monumental fireplace, impressively high ceilings, and a floor paved with smooth river stones laid on their edges. A contemporary of Galileo (17th century), the canon Uhart, head of the Congregation of the Canons of the Bishopric, became the owner in 1633 and give the house its current proportions by integrating into the ensemble one of the 12 towers of the medieval city walls.
