Bed & Breakfast Era Honteta

Less than 15 minutes from the town of Lourdes by car, these rooms are set in a countryside farmhouse in the quaint village of Artigues in the heart of the Pyrenean hillside. The village is situated at 650m giving way to stunning views of the countryside and the mountains beyond. A beautiful, tranquil getaway in the French countryside.
Your host, Colette, will welcome you upon your arrival, where you will find plenty of space for parking in front of the farmhouse. To the side of the farmhouse you'll find a garden overlooking the hills, complete with furniture for picnicking and lounge chairs for reading or relaxing with a glass of something. Breakfast, 8 to 9.30 in the mornings with fresh local bread, an assortment of homemade jams and honey, and homemade cake.
The village of Artigues is the perfect base for exploring. It sits on the doorstep of Lourdes, a town bursting with local history and culture. Visit the Lourdes Sanctuary and Notre Dame church; learn about Saint Bernadette and her legacy in Lourdes through the museums and tours; paddleboard on Lourdes lake; discover the castle and the undercover markets. or visit one of the caves (les Grottes Bétharram or Massabielle).

Further afield in the Pyrenees, there are many walks and hikes for varying abilities, such as the Cirque de Gavarnie or the Pont d’Espagne, Pic du Midi and Betharram caves; as well as other activities including horse riding, skiing, mountain biking, kayaking etc. The larger towns such as Pau (40mins) and Biarritz (1h 30) are reachable by car and by train from Lourdes. Toulouse is 1h30 and Bordeaux 2h.
