From Toulouse take the A64 towards Tarbes. After travelling about 80 km on the motorway you will pass close to Saint-Gaudens and some 30 km further on you will pass close to Lannemezan. 4 km further from there, leave the motorway at Exit 15 (Capvern) and follow the instructions from Exit 15 below.

From Pau take the A64 towards Toulouse. After travelling 34 km on the motorway you will pass close to Tarbes, and then 33 km further on, leave the motorway at Exit 15 (Capvern) and follow the instructions from Exit 15 below.

  • From Exit 15 on the A64 you will arrive at a large roundabout, take the exit for Capvern.
  • At the next roundabout do NOT take the first turn off (to Capvern-les-Bains and Péré, Tournay, Tarbes and Lourdes). Take the second turn off, signed to Capvern-Centre, Les Craouès, Abbeye de L’Escaladieu, Chateau du Mauvezin and Bagnères de Bigorre.
  • As you enter Capvern, the road rises slightly to the Mairie (Town Hall) on the left, then bends slightly right and descends slightly. Continue along the straight level stretch for a few hundred meters and then take a sharp turn left (D139), signed to Molère and Benqué, Sarlabous, Moulin des Baronnies.
  • Pass by the edge of Molère and then pass through Benqué, continuing on the D139.
  • About 1 km from Benqué you reach a T junction. Turn left here onto the D14, direction Bulan/Gouffre d’Esparros. You will almost immediately see a turn to Sarlabous, Moulin des Baronnies, etc on your right (DO NOT take it!). Continue on the D14 for a few kilometers and then take the first right turn, to Bulan/Batsère (D82), passing over a little bridge.
  • Pass through Batsère and continue on to Bulan on the D82.
  • After entering Bulan, turn right onto the D26 for Asque/Bagnères de Bigorre. Continue through Bulan on the main road, following signs for Asque/Bagnères de Bigorre. Shortly after Bulan you will climb to reach the tiny hamlet of Couret d'Asque.
  • As you reach the top of Couret d'Asque you will see an area on your left with a telephone box and picnic table and a left turning. Turn left here, following a sign for "La Source Gîte B&B".
  • Then, almost immediately turn sharp right down into "Cami Deras Estrapas"—you will see a sign for "La Source Gîte and B&B" below the road sign at the turning.
  • Travel down the hill 200 meters, until you reach Nº 2, signed "La Source Loubetas Gîte and B&B."
  • Please park in the marked parking area on the left, just before the sign, if you don’t have heavy luggage, or turn left at the sign and descend the track 100 meters to the farmhouse to unload.
