Pechine
is located in the beautiful rolling countryside of the foothills of the
Pyrenees, with the high mountains some 30 minutes drive away. There
are lots of local amenities within 10 minutes of Pechine.
Located between
Le Fossat and
Artigat, Pechine is ideally
positioned for shops, swimming, Toulouse, the mountains, Foix and Andorra,
and much more...
Le Fossat is a large, pleasant village, with a supermarket, pharmacy, general store, sports facilities, outdoor swimming pool and restaurants. The pool is large, clean and well-supervised.
Artigat has our local school plus a nice restaurant and a small but useful new general store. The outdoor swimming pool (Jul and Aug only) is free, clean and a good size.
Just
15 minutes from Pechine is the pretty and intriguing Carla Bayle, birthplace
of the 17th Century philosopher Pierre Bayle. There are spectacular
views to the Pyrenees, a number of interesting galleries and a highly
regarded 'gastro' restaurant that has a conservatory dinning room with
magnificent views to the Pyrenees.
We are close to the Way of Saint James route. Artigat is also famous as the setting for the famous and strange tale of Martin Guerre, the case of stolen identity which eventually led the imposter to be executed in the village during the 16th Century.
Also close-by are animal parks, walks, forests, a Sequoia Adventure Park,the huge cave at Mas D'Azil and 2 swimming lakes. For more information, read on or contact us.
