The Midi-Pyrenees / Ariege region

In the South West of France, the Midi-Pyrenees, has eight departments each with its own strong character.
Magnificent mountain scenery can be found both to the north and south of the region.
The weather in the Pyrenees is very warm in summer, dry and sunny until late october, cold and snowy in the winter. In spring, days are sunny with mild temperatures.
In the winter, the ski resorts of the Pyrenees are less than 45 minutes away from the farmhouse. Then
the wide sandy beaches of the Atlantic or the Mediterranean beaches are less than a couple of hours drive or train ride.
The main city is Toulouse, one of the finest and most attractive city in France, with its many superb shops, museums and restaurants to explore.
