It also read as though it was an idyllic summer that you had. The end a little sad, but true to life time goes and so do people. Also enjoyed your talk at the French exhibition. Paul    Report

At the moment I can offer you loads of contacts and info on the area. I can put you in contact with a 'walking guide' for the moutains+drive you there also. Luchon and other locations, are about 45mins from me, and you will have easy access to all that I think you need.  The weather here is a bit of a Micro-Climate, with lots of sunshine, and cold winters also with sun again for perfect skiing... The boarder with Spain is also a stones-throw from us, so lots of cheap things there... plus,  ANOTHER COUNTRY!! Regards Jon.  Post edited by the moderators.

Had lunch there last Thursday - wanted to go for an evening meal but you do need to book fairly well ahead, so obviously popular. When we ate there the place was fairly empty - probably about 18 people in all. It was not as I imagined it from the book but there again that is down to ones imagination. However, we were not disappointed. It was a very pleasant experience. The soup was especially good.  Did note that they did not have any copies of Martins book for sale :) Paul    Report
