    •  The gîte l'Escolan is ideally located, in the calm of the Vallée d'Ustou, just 2 hours from Toulouse and a few kilometers from the Cirque de Cagateille (2ᵉ largest natural cirque in France) and the resort of Guzet (ski resort, also open in summer for tobogganing and downhill karting or mountain biking).


      The charm of this former school will leave no one indifferent, and that's just as well : 

      • Activities for all ages and profiles are available in the surrounding area (skiing, thermal baths, cultural or culinary visits, hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, etc.).


      The gîte has 5 bedrooms (2 double rooms and 3 dormitories for 5 to 8 people), each with its own bathroom, and can be rented individually or as a whole (minimum 2 nights' self-catering).


      Like a return to nature, calm and the present, l'Escolan also offers a warm welcome, shared cuisine and good times !

    Spent a weekend with Philippe and Nathalie in this lovely gîte. Very quiet village with amazing view. Nathalie gave us good hiking route suggestions, which are easily accessible from the gîte. Dinners are prepared by them with local ingredients - every meal is with generous and delicious French food! We had a great time thanks to their hospitality. We would come back again!

    If you want somewhere warm and welcoming in an idyllic location, look no further. A lovely couple running a beautiful gite d'etape with comfortable beds and great local food.
