You can relax in our natural garden of 1500 sq mtrs, and enjoy breakfast under our shady pergola (weather permitting).

Our breakfast menu consists of a choice of traditional English or continental breakfasts which include eggs from our own chickens, croissants, home-made jam, porridge, etc.

Fos was a frontier village trading in marble and wood and Le Pas de Moine (The Monk's Step) may have been the site of an old seminary.

The village contains a hotel/bar/restaurant, epicerie (grocers) and traditional bakery. There are several local restaurants in the surrounding villages and across the border in Spain.

Situated on the GR10, the local area offers a wealth of outdoor activities, including: winter sports; Alpine and Nordic skiing at Le Mourtis (17kms), Superbagneres (26kms), Peyragudes (40kms) and Baqueira/Beret (Spain's premier ski resort, frequented by the King of Spain - 46kms); walking (at all levels); road and mountain biking; white water rafting; fishing; horse riding; parapenting/paragliding and lots more.

Local tourist attractions include; the historic spa town of Bagneres de Luchon (26kms - twinned with Harrogate), the ancient hilltop cathedral of Saint-Bertrand de Comminges (27kms), and the beautiful Val d'Aran (4kms).

Le Repos du Moine welcomes walkers, cyclists, motorcyclists... in fact everyone!
