Nestled in the heart of the majestic Hautes-Pyrénées, Maison La Flambée is a warm and authentic guesthouse designed as a true haven for nature lovers, wellness seekers, and those who appreciate simplicity. Formerly a carefully renovated gîte, the house blends mountain charm, soft décor, and modern comfort to create an atmosphere where you immediately feel at home. Every detail here is thoughtfully crafted to offer a unique experience: homemade breakfast, a gourmet table d’hôtes four evenings a week, soothing bedrooms, and a fully equipped yoga room for your relaxation or wellness retreats. Located just steps from ski resorts, the Balnéa thermal baths, Lac de Génos, and numerous hiking trails, Maison La Flambée is the perfect starting point to explore the region… before returning to recharge in a peaceful, friendly, and inspiring setting.

We are Xavier, Dorothée, our daughter Livia, and our faithful companion Baloo. After an initial adventure as guesthouse hosts in Panama, we settled in the Hautes-Pyrénées, captivated by the region’s wild beauty and the warmth of its people. Drawing from our international experience, we are committed to welcoming you with sincerity, simplicity, and generosity. At Maison La Flambée, every stay is a meeting: we love sharing our table, offering advice, and making sure everyone feels at home. Our house is much more than accommodation — it’s a place of life, sharing, and well-being that we have designed especially for you.
