Les Remparts

The Pyrenees


In the charming village of Luz St-Saveur, this apartment complex and B&B is fab for families. It’s right next to the village’s fortified church, in an old inn that’s been renovated with style and taste. The decor is plain and simple, and the nicest apartments have views of the church and the house’s courtyard.
