Auberge Notre Dame Du Coral

Simply magical place with franck, a very pleasant and welcoming man who lives and maintains the site and will not hesitate to make the maximum to make your stay enjoyable!

Beautiful building but unfortunately closed when we passed. we shall return;

Walking up The Valley from Lamanère , through a wood abundant with mushrooms and wild flowers , we came across the Ermitage at the top of a track, 500 meters off the GR 83. The original building has been restored as a hostal with many of the unique historic features maintained and access to the restored chapel, well worth a visit. The views across the mountains are breathtaking and there is a real sense of calm. The evening meal was superb and the hosts were very flexible to ensure that all dietary needs were catered for. the accommodation is very clean and comfortable with efficient hot water and access to drinks outside of meal times. It is perfect for large groups as well as single travellers. Isobel and Frank, who are warm and hospitable have set themselves a challenge, but this place has huge charm and is wonderful value for the treat that it is. The access track (4K) needs careful negotiation at points if you have a low suspension car, but it is worth the effort and no problem at all if you are walking, either up to the road or walking on towards the Coll d’Ares. We plan to return again and again
