Guestbook for Champs et Montagne

Beautiful setting, lovely house, we all enjoyed our stay especially the 3 children. Very well set up, you have thought of everything.

The Hansons and The Whalleys, Scotland and Devon


We all had a lovely hoilday! at the lake most days. The house is great, peaceful and lovely setting. One of the highlights was the day the "Tour de France" came through the village. We would recommend Puivert as a great place for a holiday, especially Champs et Montagne.
