A warm welcome awaits you from the Spencer family St Victor du Fau.
The very large, 17th century Ariegeoise farmhouse is set in 50 acres of arable land and forest, on a reserve nationale located in the rolling hills and an area of outstanding natural beauty, 5 minutes drive from the town centre of Pamiers.
5 km from St Victor Rouzaud, nearby Escosse, St Martin D´Oydes, the hilltop town of Carla Bayle & Mirepoix.
Ideal location people seeking peace and quiet, except for birdsong & cow bells. Lovely views from every window.
Good local footpaths, plus our beautiful woodland adjacent to a pretty stream.
There is a general feeling of total peace and quiet plus birdsong at St Victor du Fau.
