Yann's gîte is situated in a hamlet in the beautiful, high, wide and isolated Ustou valley, in the heart of the Pyrenees. It is the point of departure for a wide variety of walks: toward a glacier cirque, a dozen high altitude lakes and waterfalls where you'll discover a wealth of wildlife and plant life (isards, marmots, eagles, vultures.. and even bears). Other more bucolic walks offer the opportunity to explore the life and pastoral patrimony of the Pyrenean inhabitants.

The gîte is very easy to find, located at the entrance to St Lizier, a village with about 20 inhabitants but with a grocery store, café-restaurant and even a municipal swimming pool. Behind an unexceptional facade it reveals its charm to whoever knows to penetrate it: a stone built house with a large, south-facing garden offering a pretty view and numerous living spaces: a veranda with a small interior garden, a salon with a large balcony and bay window looking out on the mountains of the cirque de Cagateille, a large dining room with a fireplace, an old bread oven (which once produced all the bread for the valley) and a small kitchen for guests' use that opens onto the balcony.


The bedrooms are simple and full of warmth:
- three bedrooms sleeping 3 people, under the roof, spacious enough to install an extra bed. One of them has a private bathroom. There is a toilet and shower room in the corridor.
- Two bedrooms with exposed stone walls sleeping 3 people (1 double bed and 1 single bed). Shared toilet and bathroom in the corridor.
- A bedroom sleepng 4 people (1 double bed and 2 single beds with a separation) with a private shower room. Toilet in the corridor.
- A dormitory sleeping 5-6 people with a shower room. Toilet in the corridor.

- walks and waymarked hikes (topoguides available for consultation in the library)
- a small mountain biking circuit (we offer our own topoguides)
- a pool 100 m away and tennis courts 2 km away
- Ski station Guzet-Neige (12 km)
