The Dream
The undiscovered France is most definitely a real place! It is exactly what one would hope – beautiful, safe, welcoming, and affordable. It is the perfect mix of natural beauty, great food, and captivating culture and the heart of this undiscovered France is the Ariège.
Beauty: The natural beauty is unmistakable from snow-capped Pyrenees to clean rivers, breathtaking cliff-top chateaux, deep gorges, and some of the cleanest air quality in all of Europe. All this plus scenic country roads, charming villages and a vast network of walking trails make this a nature lovers paradise. Situated at the climatic boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea this area is also well-positioned to escape the extreme results of climate change.
Food: The area is fast becoming a center of organic and sustainable agriculture driven largely by the climate and the diversity of microclimates. Polyculture and adaptability is the norm for the areas farm community and the local food movement has found a welcoming home here. Needless to say this agricultural richness has attracted quite a few excellent chefs and restaurants but for those amateurs who love to explore, taste and create it is indeed a treasure.
Culture: Like elsewhere in the world, an environment this beautiful and affordable has attracted an artistic and cultural community who create and share their work with each other and the lucky few who have experienced the region. Music and performance festivals here naturally focus on the next generation of up-and-coming exceptional talent. They are indeed a trove of undiscovered ability, joy, and emotion. Since this area has been so far from the grand urban centers of Europe it has also been untouched by conflict (and the resulting architectural destruction) since the Middle Ages. Small churches or grand cathedrals – all are preserved in their original beauty. Finally, for anyone who has thought about the origin of Homo sapiens, this area has been part of the human experience since literally before history and is one of the few parts of the planet where you can still see the real traces of our ancestors.
For those lucky few considering an escape or a new experience, there are still a few residences which fit the requirement of elegance without pretension: beauty, functionality, and fast internet in short, the stuff of dreams.
