Delphine et Julien sont chaleureux et ont le sens de l'accueil. Nous avons passé un moment ressourçant dans ce lieu préservé.
Les repas sont soignés et copieux !
Nous reviendrons en famille sans aucun doute.
Nous reviendrons l'été prochain et si possible cet hiver pour découvrir un nouveau paysage.
Around 20 minutes later, after I had communicated to them my wish to pitch my tent at their campsite, the husband came outside, saw that I was charging three new electronic units (I'd disconnected my phone), and launched a quite hysterical attack on the modern style of backpacking heavily reliant on electronic devices. I was clearly representative of this style, and accordingly he shouted "it's not backpacking, it's CRAZY". For reference, I was charging my two small (5,000 mAh) power banks and my Bluetooth earphones' charging case (2,500 mAh). I had a hard time believing something so commonplace (virtually every hiker I met carried a 10,000+ mAh capacity power bank in addition to at least a phone, perhaps a camera, an ebook reader) could provoke a verbal attack so ferocious, so I initially believed it was all either a joke, or his opinion expressed exaggeratedly for comic effect. But he was very serious. Somewhere in the heated monologue he did however suggest a limit for guests' complimentary electricity, saying "it's fine if you charge your phone for the next day, but [tirade about all the other devices people carry]". While he was complaining, he appeared also to try to escape back inside through the door, which he finally succeeded in, just after informing me that he would charge me for an extra drink (I had a €3 (craft) soda), so I had virtually no chance to respond.
I spoke to him later, explaining that I carry a powerbank to be able to use my phone for navigation even if I do not visit civilization for electricity every day. He said he understands and respects this, but suggested that I carry a solar panel instead, or at least ask my hosts if I can charge more than my phone. I advised him to put up signs clearly communicating this limit, since it is quite unusual in the Pyrenees, especially at paid campsites (I've never encountered it, but I only travelled for 16 days). He then expressed lack of faith in people's willingness to comply with such a rule and pay the extra charge. (Haha, it is probably better to attack newly arrived guests in this manner!) I said I'd be happy to pay the extra €3. But then he also spoke about how he knows people are charging their power banks in the guest kitchen (I charged mine in the open at the terrace), which they very much do, and I am quite confident he does not generally take action to identify and charge their owners; that evening I saw two 20,000 mAh and two 10,000 mAh power banks being charged; two of these belonged to two people I made friends with this evening, and they were not charged... or attacked. He also said that normally, people "buy something from us and we don't mind", but Sir, I had already bought a soda and was planning to order dinner until your verbal attack, which compelled my petty self to go elsewhere for food. Both my new friends also ate their own food, and yet were not asked to pay extra.
Though in the end, this is an event of little consequence, it is probably one of the most ludicrous and uncomfortable things I've experienced as a guest anywhere. Even after saying he understands well why I carry a powerbank, he did not apologise for the attack. In spite of this, the location is beautiful, the guest kitchen is top-notch. There was however no soap in any of the toilets or bathrooms, which I thought a bit weird. (Disinfectant was available at the entrance, though.) I am not saying it is worth the money, but it is a fine place if you consider the possible extra charge fair and are willing to risk being treated in this manner. :)
