I have in total spent 4 months as a volunteer in this coliving. 2 months in September and November and 2 months in June and July. You can find many places where you can ‘tick’ the boxes of cleanliness, hospitality and rooms and give a 5 star review. But if you plan to stay to have a home for a while, it needs more than boxes you can tick. Vincent and Clairie (and their children Babou and Yäel) have created a home where the roof is tall enough for all types of people. I have met people from all over the world with all sorts of interest here, and most seem to find their role in the house. I admire the way Vincent and Clairie still keep their own values, even though many people pass their home. For that they have inspired me a lot. The village is cute and beautiful and there is a lot of local life in the area. Such as festivals, concerts, movies, paragliding, markets etc. and Vincent is also up to date with what is going around. There are also plenty of hikes to do from the house or stunning ones if you go somewhere with car. The house is huge with a breathtaking view. Even with many people in the house, you can find a spot if you need quiet time. The rooms have a lot of charm and the kitchen is well equipped and big enough for improvised dancing and singing! 😁 The community has a beautiful balance of colivers taking their own initiative and Vincent suggesting events and activities in the area. I will definitely return again. Because it’s home. Because it’s family. And because there isn’t a lot of places like these anymore. I can’t recommend this place enough! Lots of love and well done to you Vincent, Clairie, Babou, Yäel and Benji 🐕❤️

What a fantastic 6 weeks, I can’t recommend this place highly enough. The house is located in a beautiful setting and is run by Vincent and Claire, two absolute legends, together with a team of volunteers who create a genuine community atmosphere. Every week, everyone gets together to discuss what’s happening, which activities are available, and what people would like to do. It’s all very spontaneous and relaxed, with nothing ever feeling forced. There’s something for everyone, from peaceful walks and hikes to more adventurous activities like paragliding and downhill mountain biking. For me, it felt like one giant playground. I was also surprised by how many local events are organized in the area, and every single one I attended was a lot of fun. It’s a great way to meet local people and experience the culture, which I really enjoyed. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly, and working remotely with mountain views all around definitely does wonders! Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed every second of my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for adventure, community, and an unforgettable experience.

Unfortunately I didn't end up going up there. Very unfriendly owner (Vincent) who doesn't like to be asked questions on prices or dates. Just book and pay is what he let me know he wanted. I had to ask tho cuz I was with my van and the prices werent online. €37 a night when I stayed for a week, sleeping in my van, only to use the facilities. Ridiculously expensive for what you get (rude behaviour and basic necessities like a desk, bathroom and kitchen). Biggest putdown was how cynical and unfriendly he became to me showing sincere interest in the place. I ended up booking a beautiful place in Foix with my own bed and bedroom, beautiful location and facilities and the most kind and sweetest owner for the same price. Unfortunately wouldn't recommend the coworking place, there are much better, friendlier, and affordable ones in this part of the world.

You'll love it here! The house with the big garden, fire pit, fruit trees, hammocks and terrace is heaven on earth and serves the community really well. Vincent is the beating heart of it; helpful, fun, good spirited and relaxed, making sure things are running smoothly, but also that the community is woven well together and knows about all possible activities and happenings far and wide. The house and Vincent create a great atmosphere, so it was really easy to build a connected, active community and to make some close friends. The internet is good, the office nice, the kitchen well equipped. And do not get me started on the beautiful nature just behind the house, or on both ends of the border - I did many hikes, some climbing and just lots of being outside and enjoy the peace in the village. I will definitely come back again (and again). Zala from Slovenia

I had such a beautiful experience at Pyrenescape. The house is big, spacious, and very comfortable. The community is truly amazing. I met inspiring people from different backgrounds, and it felt so easy to share, connect, and grow together. A special thanks to Vincent, who is incredibly helpful and genuinely cares about creating a safe and welcoming environment. He really makes this place feel like home. A space where you can simply be yourself, share openly, and grow together. Highly recommended ✨

I had a really wonderful stay at PyrenEscape. Vincent was so helpful with arranging car hire and recommendations of where to go. There was a really welcoming, community vibe with activities and shared meals happening regularly. I had a enquire double room with a nice view. Good facilities, a lovely outdoor space with beautiful view, different spaces to work, relax and socialise.

My first coliving experience and it couldn’t have been better! The scenery around and the nature are breathtaking, the house cozy and welcoming and the hosts Vincent and Clairie are wonderful, always in the best mood, organizing activities and help you feel like a local! There is a warm welcoming community around that makes you feel like a part of it! The house is spacious - you can enjoy your own quiet time but also connect easily with the other colivers. It’s perfect for working remotely, with comfortable spaces to focus. I met such lovely people and together we created wonderful memories ! With so many activities, from hikes and locals events to potlucks and cozy board games - every day felt special ! I will definitely come back ! À la prochaine ! 💚🏡🏔️

This has been a very enriching experience for me. The french Pyrenees are powerful, beautiful and delicate. PyrenEscape owners are lovely people that I hold dear, I'm really grateful I got to know them and spend this time as part of a family. The house is a beautiful building with unparallel views and with many outdoor places to feel at ease and in awe... the garden, the bonfire area, the hammocks or just contemplating sitting on a bench. Being a traveller implies reaching deeper into the culture and its people which give character to a natural places, this was vigorously promoted in the coliving activities... Choir-potluck, local concerts, volunteering at the cultural center's bistrot, volunteering at the neighbours organic farm, herding a gigantic flock of sheep as an annual hiking event, opening of a local community center, weekly visit to Arreau's beautiful market with local products, pantuflada (google it), and much more. All this on top of all imaginable activities in the mountains... hicking, paragliding (in the best possible place), river rafting, canyoning... Again the list can go on forever. The absolute difference between being a disengaged tourist collecting photos and activities vs a Traveler diving into the local culture were Vincent and Clerie, PyrenEscape wizards creating a unique blend that allows for a dialog between the traveller and the locals, this is human connection. Now, about the co-livers I had the privilege to meet and share many conversations , experiences and delicious meals with surprising people from around the world, I definitely have many favorites (you know who you are). The accommodations and all other facilities for cooking, co-working, relaxing or any other needs are excellent, just visit the website to get the idea. Don't miss out, become a traveler, there are too many disengaged tourist already. This is outstanding!
