Sleeps 6-8

In Pyreneen patois, Enso means "chez" and Laborré is the nickname of the family that lived in this house at the beginning of the last century.

Aleu is a very small village at 730 m elevation nestled in the side of the mountain, surrounded by greenery and facing the Mont Valier.

If you live all year in the noise and stress of an urban area, the first thing you'll notice when you arrive in Aleu is the silence.

From the village you can go on numerous mountain walks without having to get in your car. A good pair of shoes and a knapsack and your days will be quite full. Without traveling very far, you can go horseback riding, kayaking or fishing, and if you have children they'll love going on walks on the back of a donkey which you can hire for the day not far from the village. For the more intrepid, there is no shortage of high altitude hikes to enjoy.

You can visit Cathar chateaux, prehistoric caves, an underground river or follow part of the Way of St James of Compostella.

In winter, the Guzet ski station is just 30 minutes from the house. If you want to combine shopping and skiing, Andora is 100 kms away.

Aleu is 120 km from Toulouse and 20 km from St Girons, where you will find all shops, supermarkets and services as well as a wonderful outdoor market on Saturday mornings. There are also smaller shops closer by in Castet d'Aleu, Massat, Oust and Seix.


The house comprises a ground floor with kitchen and living/dining room as well as a courtyard that looks out onto fields and forest where you can dine in fine weather. A toilet is on the ground floor.

The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, refridgerator, freezer, microwave and clothes washer plus small appliances.

On the first floor: 2 bedrooms each with a 140 cm double bed, a WC and a shower room.

On the second floor: a larche bedroom with a 140 cm double bed and the possibility of adding 2 mattresses for children.

In addition to the fireplace, there are electric radiators in all the rooms and a 200 L water heater.
