About the home

Maison Bo retains its rustic charm from the outside with basque red shutters, juliet balconies to 2 of the bedrooms and french doors opening up on to the private garden, whilst inside there is a modern open plan living area and contemporary furnishings. The house comfortably accommodates 6 people (2 bedrooms have kingsize beds - one is a water bed! 1 bedroom has a double bed); however there is also a double sofa bed in the study which could sleep an additional 2 if required.

The house is located in the town of Salies de Béarn and is a few minutes walk from all amenities.

The South West facing garden is perfect for al fresco dining at any time of the day, there is a table with 6 chairs and a large parasol to provide some much needed shade in the summer months!

The house is a few minutes walk from the centre of Salies de Béarn so perfect for people who want to go out for a drink or a meal without the worry of driving home! Salies has a supermarket, restaurants, spa, open air pool, bars, golf, etc which are all within walking distance of the house.

Bordered along the whole of its west coast by the Atlantic Ocean, Aquitaine is bathed in a mild oceanic climate with the influence of the Gulf Stream and has the longest stretch of sandy coastline throughout Europe. The Pyrenees Atlantiques in particular is a combination of beautiful landscapes, a deeply rooted culture and a history it can be proud of as well as flavoursome gastronomy.

Biarritz has some of the best surf in the world and great beaches such as La Grande Plage which is dotted with striped bathing tents as well as a lively atmosphere and a wide selection of bars and restaurants. Biarritz is approximately 45 minutes away from Salies de Bearn.

On the southern reaches of the Silver Coast, Hossegor is Europe’s surf Mecca and a world famous spot for the annual Quiksilver World Pro Surfing Competition. Hossegor has what is arguably Europe’s most consistent waves.

The historical city of Pau is known as the capital of the Béarn and invites you to stroll through its unique trail of parks and gardens against the backdrop of the Pyrenees. This is truly a beautiful place with an excellent selection of shops (high street and boutique) as well as lively bars and wonderful restaurants.

Saint Jean Pied de Port is the last stop before the mountain pass of Roncevaux (Roncesvalles) on the pilgrimage to the tomb of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. Pilgrims have been making the trek ever since the 10th Century, their routes intersecting in this medieval village surrounded by the red Pyrenees hills.

You can reach Spain in just one hour where you can sample local tapas, enjoy some sangria and take advantage of the shopping. The cosmopolitan city of San Sebastian is highly recommended!

The Pyrénées-Atlantiques takes its name from the Pyrenees Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean and Salies de Bearn is perfectly situated between the two providing you with access to a wide range of activities and beautiful scenery throughout the year,

Considered the Venice of the Bearn, Salies is a beautiful traditional village with an old medieval quarter and a charming old-fashioned 19th century area. The Place du Bayaa is the heart of the town and the start of the market that is held every Thursday morning where you can buy fresh local produce, clothes and gifts. There are excellent shops, bars and restaurants along with a supermarket, banks, a cinema and a casino at the Hotel du Parc.

The town has become most famous because of it's salt - legend has it that this was discovered when an injured boar fell into a swamp and was discovered later covered in salt and perfectly preserved. The salts at Salies de Bearn are particularly beneficial for gynaecological, rheumatic and paediatric ailments and the Thermal Baths are a must for any visitor to the area! Relax at the thermal spas or pamper yourself with one of the many beauty treatments on offer.

During the summer each village or town in the area holds its own fete, which takes places over one weekend. The two main festivals in Salies are The Piperade and the Fete du Sel, however there are many other events throughout the year, particularly in the summer evenings and weekends.

There are plenty of activities to take part in including a local 12 hole golf course, cycling tracks, walking, local outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, kayaking and white water rafting in the Gave.

This area is also well known for it's fast flowing rivers, known as Gaves. The Gave d'Oloron in particular is rich in trout and salmon and attracts numerous fishermen every year from France and many other countries. The World Salmon Fishing Championships have been held here for over 40 years.
