Le Belvedere is a traditional French villa built from local stone and chestnut wood and finished in walnut. It features built-in walnut cupboards and doors mostly in their original state that have seen over 300 years with very little restoration work needed. The floors in the master bedroom are still in their original state and are crafted from chestnet parquetry.

Built over 300 years ago, Le Belvedere has been a government building, local council house, school, and private residence. In 1995 Jean-Marc and Dominique Crampe purchased Le Belvedere and took on the painstaking job of returning it to its original glory. After 12 years, you are today able to see the house restored to its original state with the convenience of modern day services. The adjacent Grange was in ruin at the time the Crampes began their work and they have since completely rebuilt it and are now residing in the Grange as Managers of 'Le Belvedere'.

The current owners of Le Belvedere take the opportunity to enjoy the relaxing French countryside when visiting the Pyrenees and would like to invite you to experience this wonderful property.

Hautes Pyrenees Area Information

Le Belvedere is a significant part of the heritage of the 11th century village of Salles. At the heart of village is the monastry which is still in use today, and aside from the few new residences, much of the village has remained unchanged for centuries.

Like many of the Pyrenean mountain villages, Salles is linked to nearby villages via a network of walk trails that cut through forests, crop fields and streams and date back hundreds of years... well worth exploring.

Whether it is the excitement of Tour de France, the spiritual heritage of Lourdes, the rich history of Pau, the sun drenched beaches of San Sebastian or simply to experience the holiday of a lifetime in the beautiful French Pyrenees. Le Belvedere offers you the perfect location from which to see it all.

The beautiful location of Salles Argeles puts the very best of the Pyrenees at your fingertips. Situated at the base of the Haute Pyrenees within the village of Salles, 'Le Belvedere' is the perfect place for whatever event or activity holiday you are planning. 'Le Belvedere' gives you a perfect base for canyoning, hiking, cycling, skiing, exploring the area’s history, a family reunion, a wedding party or a pilgrimage to the historic location of Lourdes.

Whether you are visiting Lourdes, the Valley of Argeles-Gazost, Val d'Azun, Cauterets or in le Pays Toy we hope to give you a snipet of information so that when you will pass through to the sites and vistas you are prepared for the magical scenery and cultural experience to what may lay ahead. The Vallees des Gaves or Valley of Rivers offers an invitation to travel and experience nature at its most pristine where you can enjoy a great range of sport and leisure activities within the natural beauty and authenticity of the Haute Pyrenees!

A word of advice, many of the region’s restaurants and cafes close around midday for siesta, and reopen between 2pm and 3pm. So make sure you bear this in mind when planning your day’s sight seeing and activities.
