A family story
Who are we?
Discover our story
During a family trip, just after confinement, when we were wondering how to give more meaning to our activities, we decided to transform our large guest house into a meeting place for people wanting to achieve projects.
The concept of coliving, known to traveling children, naturally emerged and mobilized the whole family. A year and a half later, we are there and the Terrasses de Saubissan give way to Pyren'Escape, the first rural co-living in the French Pyrenees.

Meet our Team Family
Vincent
He loves cooking, nature, horses, encounters, art (and especially cinema) and tai chi.
His credo: “Let’s hurry slowly” His project: “Welcoming and helping to mature”
Clairie
Passionate about outdoor sports, she practices paragliding on a daily basis, as well as skiing and mountain biking.
But what she prefers above all is to share moments with her children such as traveling.
Yael
Pyrenean since always, Yaël is the ray of sunshine of the place.
Freelance in communication and sports events recently, she is always ready for adventure, with lots of good vibes.
Babou
After many trips around the world (New Zealand, Mexico, Philippines, Brazil, Madagascar, South Africa ...), it is today between Barcelona and Switzerland that he established his base camp, but never away from his van.
From the Pyrenees or other regions, he manages Pyren'Escape's digital strategy.
Why Pyren'Escape?
Formerly Les Terrasses de Saubissan, Pyren'Escape is an old farm, located in the heart of the Pyrenees, where the mountains are the highest.
When we acquired it in 2005, our family unit, composed of Clairie, Vincent and their two children, Babou and Yaël, was not specifically intended to be a foster company.
We learned around a guest house, for almost 20 years, run by Vincent, while Clairie devoted herself to architecture, that Babou went to travel the world as a great sportsman and that Yaël grew up quietly.
And then came the covid crisis, and the questions that followed. The parents were heading towards the end of their professional careers while the children were at the beginning, and we took the time to reflect on the future of this very large farm, and the wishes of each member of the family.
Vincent and Clairie wanted to continue to receive by getting out of the monotonous rhythm of the holidays and giving more meaning to the welcome, Babou and Yaël wanted to continue their life as digital independents.
As soon as the confinement ended, the whole family went on a roadtrip for a while to think about the path to follow.
This is how the idea of a coliving was born. We had a corner of paradise in a preserved region and we wanted to be able to share it with people who take their time. The link was all found between the parents, in love with their territory (but who like to leave) and the children, ultra connected to the world (but who like to come back).
So, as we like challenges and because, on this one, everyone could find their place, we created the first rural co-living in the French Pyrenees.
Clairie and Vincent are the head and legs of the place. Clairie designs the plans, directs the work; Vincent manages reservations, welcomes, maintains and ensures the role of community manager.
Babou and Yaël are the social managers, thanks to their web and social network skills. They ensure the visibility of the place, even if they do not disdain to come and recharge their batteries regularly.
Here we go for a new adventure that makes sense, and we really hope that you will want to join our community and enjoy a magical place. We are waiting for you!
