English Version - Presenting the house.

Imagined in 1971 by Mr and Mrs Couderc, hotel-keepers in the world-famous commune of Lourdes (famous for the apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes) in the Hautes-Pyrénées department (South-West of France) this stunning detached family-home was built in 1973-1974.
