AUX BONS AMIS is atmospheric, private and varied.:
All 5 apartments have access to a spectacular roof terrace for entertaining under the backdrop of magnificent views to the mountains, the Quillan chateau which is almost within reach, and the river rapids nearby. Sun lounges, tables and chairs and a barbeque for entertaining make the roof terrace an unimaginable delight! The two adjoining buildings that are Aux Bons Amis once housed a bank and private apartments. Now Aux Bons Amis offers 5 newly renovated and remarkable apartments varying from the grand ‘The Bank’ that includes a stately boardroom in the 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, two spacious and convenient 2 bedroom apartments, and, for those on the go and needing a more economic alternative, two tempting studio apartments.
