One of the things our guests remember most about their stay at Relais de Laval isn't always the room, the mountains, or even the table d'hôte...
It's often the dogs 🐾
The Great Pyrenees were bred to protect flocks in the mountains, but anyone who knows them understands that their greatest gift is not their strength — it's their heart.
Gentle with children, patient with strangers, and always ready to offer a quiet presence, they seem to understand that every guest arrives carrying their own story.
Over the years, they have welcomed travelers from all over the world. Some guests leave with photos of the Pyrenees. Others leave with dozens of photos of our dogs.
And honestly, we understand why.
There is something special about being greeted by a dog who asks for nothing except a little affection and gives back so much more.
To all our guests, both big and small, thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with our gentle giants 🤍
