    • A UNIQUE PLACE IN THE HEART OF THE OSSAU VALLEY

      Refuge Out of the City, ROC, is a true paradise of two gites housed in a 20-hectare setting unfolding around several buildings dating from the 17th century in the heart of the Ossau Valley, in the Pyrenees National Park (New Aquitaine).

      Less than an hour from Pau, discover an atypical building offering accommodation adapted to everyone's desires.

      For a weekend or during a week's vacation, take advantage of this timeless place, share moments in the heart of nature, practice sports activities in an exceptional and preserved environment where an atmosphere of well-being reigns.

      Whether you are a traveler looking for adventure or a family looking for relaxation, fresh air and discovery, our refuge in the Pyrenees will meet your desires. You will feel at home there.

      AN ECO-RESPONSIBLE COTTAGE

      ROC is an old farmhouse transformed into a guest house, which offers accommodation focused "sustainable, based on" sustainable tourism based on the concept of "Retreat body & soul", eco-lodge, very close nature, emphasizing healthy and quality food.

      The universe of the Vallée d'Ossau, local products, life close to nature, this is what we find in our guest room but also in the activities of the surroundings.

      Our goal: to offer you a stay away from the stress of urban life in an idyllic setting in the 64.

      A BODY & SOUL RETREAT IN THE HEART OF THE OSSAU VALLEY

      The environment in which ROC is located is conducive to calm and meditation. In the heart of the Basque mountains and Béarn, the Refuge is a source of alchemy between body and mind. You will be able to rest there, recharge your batteries far from the tumult and stress of urban life. You can also practice many cultural and sporting activities such as yoga, hiking... or quite simply, take a long nap.

      LOCAL FOOD

      Halfway between the Basque Coast, the Pyrenees and Béarn, the Ossau Valley region is full of delicious local products recognized worldwide for their quality. You can take advantage of your stay to meet many local producers, from the most traditional to the most unusual: cheese makers, breeders, beekeepers, craft beer makers, restaurants, fish farms…

      The village of Arudy will take you on an adventure with the neighboring villages where ancestral know-how is developed and where local traditions are transmitted from generation to generation.

      At ROC, we do not offer catering. In case you were unable to stock up before your arrival at the Refuge, know that we provide you with enough to prepare your first meal thanks to a welcome breakfast kit & emergency dinner kit.

    .. we had a pleasant three-day stay once again in this little refuge that we like. Thank you for being able and able to quickly resolve the water supply problem. The hike that leads to the mountain in front of the refuge once again seemed a little long to get to above the forest, it is better to go by car on the path to walk with the view from the top of the mountain without too many trees (advice).

    Excellent stay. The place, the calm, the accommodation. Above all, Philippe's welcome. His availability, his customer service, his sense of mutual aid when we found ourselves without a vehicle. A huge thank you
