The community of Soule Xiberoa villages and the Haute Soule tourist office decided to develop their tourism by transforming the former home of Dr Elisseche in Tardets (64) into a tourist centre for the Soule Valley.
This town house boasts an extraordinary location as it stands right in the village square.
The programme identifies three spaces :
- The ground floor, mainly glass, information space connects right through the building, opening on to an outdoor
terrace leading to a viewpoint looking over the river and the orchard below.
- Administrative premises on the first floor with offices and common areas for group work.
- An exhibition space on the top level, under the restored wooden framework.
The two public entities (reception and staging) are visually linked
