Estadens/Aspet

Gite Colombe des Bois is situated in the quiet commune of Estadens in the foothills of the French Pyrenees. A place where you can step outside, take a breath and switch off from it all.

The local Village of Aspet is just 5km away, where you will find all the supplies you need. Visit the local produce and artisanal market and support many local small businesses at the same time. Take time to sit in the cafe and watch the world go by.

Known as the gateway to the mountains, Aspet is the last stop to pick up your supplies for lunch before hitting the mountains. It is also the last chance for fuel and a bank, so fill up as you pass through.
