El paller del Franceset

3 km from the natural hot springs of Saint-Thomas, this attractively decorated gîte faces south to the Catalan Pyrenees.

Nestled in the heart of the Pyrénées-Orientales, Fontpédrouse charms visitors with its authentic mountain charm and breathtaking landscapes. Nearby, spa-goers enjoy the benefits of the famous Bains de Saint-Thomas, nestled in an exceptional natural setting. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking trails leading to Canigó, the sacred mountain of the Catalans, and the panoramic views of the Catalan Pyrenees Regional Nature Park. Charming villages such as Villefranche-de-Conflent and Mont-Louis invite visitors to explore their listed heritage sites. With its blend of relaxation, culture, and adventure, Fontpédrouse is an ideal stop to recharge your batteries.
Located in a small mountain village, it’s accessible only by a footpath—which lends it charm and tranquility. The sunny location and the view of the forested Mountains are definite draws for lovers of beautiful hikes and nature; in fact, a trail leads to the hot springs in less than an hour.

Housed in a south-facing village home, this holiday cottage for four people enjoys a quiet setting and a pleasant view of the forested mountains. Access is via a pedestrian path, which adds to the peaceful atmosphere of the place. From the village, a trail even takes you to the Bains de Saint-Thomas on foot in less than an hour.
On the ground floor, a few steps lead to a cozy living area that combines the living room and the open kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a 4-burner gas stove, a drip coffee maker, and a Nespresso machine (wood-burning stove—1 basket of firewood provided), as well as everything you need to prepare your meals. A wood-burning stove creates a particularly cozy atmosphere on cooler evenings.
The first floor features a bathroom with a toilet and the first bedroom:
• Bedroom 1: 1 bed (140 x 190 cm).
On the second floor, an attic bedroom completes the accommodations:
• Bedroom 2: 2 beds (90 x 190 cm).
The floors are accessed via a Japanese-style staircase secured by a handrail and a safety railing. Outside, you’ll enjoy a private terrace, perfect for sharing meals or simply admiring the surrounding scenery. A washing machine is also available for your use. Public parking is available at a lot located 100 meters away, with a spot to drop off luggage just 30 meters from the holiday cottage.
