Pigeonnier

The Pigeonnier is a sensitive conversion from a rustic utility building into a perfect jewel of a cottage. Thought has been put into every detail and this means that beauty has been created while keeping practical details uppermost. Situated facing a view of the Pyrenees in its own private garden with verandah and use of the family pool and evening solar lit pergola, this little gem will promise you a magical break in peaceful, beautiful surroundings. The space Decorated with original and unique pieces,. Each piece has been lovingly collected from Miv’s travels. The furniture was sourced personally by Miv from Rajasthan.. Each piece is either antique or carved by hand. Textiles and Art are original , many bought from French antique markets or designed and made in Jaipur.
