Reducing our Carbon Footprint

Environmentally friendly and locally sourced materials

At l'Ancienne Poste the environment is important to us and we try to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum. We recycle as much as possible and during the renovation of the lodge we took great care to use only environmentally friendly and locally sourced materials.

The lodge is very well insulated with double glazing throughout and this, coupled with our modern, energy-efficient central heating / hot water heat exchange system, minimises our energy needs. All wood for our stoves is carefully sourced from local well-managed forests.

Minimising Muddy Footprints!

For the Comfort of all, outdoor footwear is not permitted inside the lodge so we do ask guests to bring thick socks or slippers with them.

    Perfection in the Pyrenees

    We enjoyed the perfect Pyrenees summer vacation at L'Ancienne Poste thanks to James' genuine hospitality, beautiful accommodations, delicious food, ever-flowing wine and Bode. The inn was an excellent home base for exploring mountain hikes and local villages.

    Superb!!

    Just amazing! Superb chalet with beautiful main room complete with roaring wood burner! Incredible hosts with superb food offering. James, the owner is the most hospitable and friendly guy you could wish to meet. Nothing is too much trouble and you will immediately feel at home.

    Perfection

    James and his team make you welcome from the outset. Great food and hospitality all round. From the immaculately cleaned wood-burner to the eagle-eyed team who can spot your glass needs a top up from 100 yards, you couldn't ask for more from your mountain break! I'll certainly be returning.

    Holiday of a lifetime!

    Our family had always dreamed of travelling from Australia to share a white Christmas and while we were confident we would have a lovely time in Avajan, none of us could have begun to imagine what a magical experience we would have staying with James at L'Ancienne Poste.

  • bairstow_boys - Nottingham, UK. July 31, 2017

    Well exceeded our highest expectations

    James, Dan and Zoe made us feel amazingly welcome. They were fantastic company and helped us get the most from our summer activity experiences whilst going the extra mile to make us feel pampered. There is so much to do in the area, and James certainly ensures you get the most out of your time
