Description:
Cumminges is a peaceful secluded mountain hamlet 900 mtrs up in the lovely, wild and unspoilt french pyrenees
Vacation Rental Description
The cottage is part of a secluded mountain hamlet recentlty restored using traditional materials with an emphasis on conserving the natural habitat and environment. The hamlet faces South East and is beautifully placed to catch the early morning sun.
This is a place of superb mountain vistas and soaring eagles, lying at an altitude of 900 mtrs and looking out over the Ariège valley at Mont Fourcat (2000 mtrs) and the Cathar Abbey fortresses of Montségur and Roquefixade.
Set in 3 acres of tranquil forest and wildflower meadows, the hamlet also has several terraces under cultivation with organic vegetables and fruit trees.
The different seasons bring forth a wide variety of of rare flowers and fauna. Deer, pheasant, wild boar (no brown bears yet!) are regular users of our tracks.
The mountain cottage has a lounge/kitchen with a raised lounge area with soft furnishings around a wood burning stove, the soul of the gite. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas cooker, microwave, washing machine and fridge-freezer.
There is a separate WC and shower room.
There are 2 double bedrooms, both with washbasins, one with a double bed, the other wtin bedded, both with beautiful views out over the valley.
outside is a large private grassy area with sun terrace overlooking the mountains, various garden furniture and a barbeque.
There is ample room for private car parking.
Whilst the splendid isolation of the hamlet gives it a magical unspoilt atmosphere, the market town of Foix is only 15 mins drive away.
Some guests come simply to enjoy and partake of the peace, quiet and positive airs of the hamlet but everyone delights in the pure, fresh mountain air and the cool water of our mountain spring.
Facilities
We can provide full/half board in sterling (or any other currency!) if this is required. The cleaning service is charged out at £30. There are maps and suggested itineraries in the gite.
Activities
There are two large lakes and a `base nautique` within a half hour of the hamlet, with boating, fishing and swimming and in the valley on the Ariège river there`s kayaking, canoeing and white water rafting
Our neighbours keep horses and take guests out for half/full day treks through the mountains.
Two ski stations are only half an hour away from the hamlet, and cross country skiing is also available. The immediate area is reknown for raquette (snow shoe) randonnée (there are several pairs ready for guests to borrow)
Above Cumminges at 1400 mtrs there is a paragliding site where people can participate ( instruction available) or spectate.
A mountain bike trail passes Cumminges, and there are many forest pistes on which to go mountain biking. We can provide airport pick up and half/full board for people who wish to have a long weekend cycling - contact us for details/prices etc.
Foix has a wide variety of amenities.

- Travel Info: Many people arrive by plane, using either Toulouse Blagnac airport (flybe and easyjet as well as the main carriers) and Carcassonne (Ryanair), hiring a car at the airport. It's also possible to let the train take the strain - booking from a town in the UK/Continent, changing in London and Paris, and arriving in Foix. You can also bring your car on the traion. It is possible to drive - 1000 kms from the North French coast to Foix. Difficult to do without a stopover somewhere. Using motorways will cost around 40 Euros one way.
