Maison Les Années

The décor of Maison Les Années strikes a gentle balance between rustic charm and contemporary style. Natural materials such as lime paint, wood and linen blend seamlessly with mid-century design influences from the 1950s to the 1970s. Every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to create a warm and intimate atmosphere.

“We wanted to keep the patina of time while bringing in modern comfort,” explains Nicolas. “Juliette worked on the lime paint finishes, and I crafted some of the custom furniture myself.”

Among the house’s highlights are the upper garden terrace with stunning views of the Quié de Sinsat, the elm flooring in the Les Graves bedroom and the soft, luminous tones of the lime-painted walls that glow in the sunlight.

The house shifts with the seasons. In summer, the terrace and garden become the heart of the home, perfect for lunches under the linden tree, quiet moments in the deck chairs listening to the spring, or candlelit dinners as night falls. In winter, life moves to the warmth of the fireplace, the fully equipped kitchen made for generous meals and the sunlit banquette that invites long, lazy afternoons.

Maison Les Années offers everything you need for a comfortable stay, whether for a countryside getaway or remote work. The house features a fully equipped kitchen, spacious bedrooms, high-speed internet and five dedicated workspaces. Bed linens, towels, organic soaps and cleaning services are included, with baby equipment available on request.

Activities abound both on-site and nearby. The house is just a few steps from the train station, with a direct overnight service to Paris, as well as from the river and several hiking trailheads. In summer, you can explore the Aston and Vicdessos valleys or the Beille plateau, go climbing or try canyoning. In winter, cross-country skiing on the Beille plateau or alpine skiing at Ax 3 Domaines is easily accessible, and the Grandvalira ski area in Andorra is only forty-five minutes away.

A short drive takes you to the thermal baths of Ax-les-Thermes, Foix Castle or the Lombrives and Niaux caves for unforgettable excursions. Food lovers will enjoy Maison Beaucoup or Maison Lacube and can meet local artisans such as the Au gré des mains ceramics studio or the wool makers of Saverdun, who keep traditional craftsmanship alive.
