Rabastens

Travel Guide

Every Saturday morning, there is a huge market in a nearby town. It takes about 30min to cycle there. And of course, this morning I went again (after sleeping in...there is nothing better than knowing you have absolutely nothing to do...apart from resting and leave all worries behind for just a while). 

I got some Veg, Fruit, Bread, cheese all for less than 10 Euros. Surprisingly, especially Veg & Fruits are cheaper than in the supermarket and of much better quality! Last week-end we also grabbed some delicious olives which we later enjoyed on the patio while sipping on a glass of wine. 

I also love that I get to practice my French - immersing yourself is the best way to do it. And the French love it when you try to speak their language...;)

Housesitting has changed my life. It'll always be part of it - that's for sure. Imagine living like a local for a while for next to nothing...why do holidays, if you can do this?

There are many housesits around which do not require you to look after a pet. Although, i do love having pets around and can't wait for my next housesit with a furry friend! 

I highly recommend trustedhousesitters.com but also found some really good housesits on housecarers.com. Just create a profile, and start your adventure...(and for those of you who have kids - there are LOADS of family-friendly housesits). It's a brilliant way to do a holiday cheaply. 

And now...please excuse me...my cheese is waiting for me...

8.6/10 Excellent! (999 reviews)
The room was very clean and comfortable. Every one of your staff were friendly and helpful. Our only minor disappointment was that the bacon in hot buffet was always very crispy, which is not how we like it. It looked like it had been kicking around for a while. Otherwise, we had an excellent stay ...
