Great family (2+4) experience! We were extremely pleased with our guide David who guided us in a fun and safe manner. Our youngest girl of 8 years old skipped a few high jumps but was encouraged to expericence the adventure full swing. Exiting and beautiful trip1 Highly recommended.!

Our family had a wonderful day with Javier. It was our 8 year okd’s first time and she whined a fair bit in the beginning about the hiking ascent under the sun but soon all was forgotten as we navigated through the icy river, wading, swimming, climbing and jumping off rocks, crawling and squeezing through crevices. Javier really guided our and another family with 2 kids, serving as human ladder at times to support us. He kept the kids entertained and shared his enthusiasm and the beauty of the surrounding nature. We all had a blast

We had an excellent day canyoning with David in the Formiga canyon. Really exciting and fun while feeling very safe. Very good organisation and communication both in advance and on the day. Highly recommended!

David was a fantastic guide who we had lots of fun with. He knew the canyon and the river incredibly well. He was patient with our kids and they loved having him lead us.

Raul was the guide of my wife and my 3 kids. He should them al the best spots. The canyoning was a amazing experience and he was a very good guide

Canyoning in Alquezar is amazing. The trip is very beautifull, the stunning surrounding, refreshing water, (optional) jumps make it the best Canyoning trip we did. And our guide stimulated and helped where neefjes so my 10 year old daighter had the best day!

We had such an amazing time! Javi was so helpful and patient with all of us, and he guided us step by step with what to do to make the experience as fun and safe as possible. Highly recommend!

Not a particularly tough walk for walkers but a beautiful place to visit and exercise . You buy tickets opposite the entrance which is a One way walk .

Really nice hike! At the time of writing, it costs €5 for an adult. The paths are well maintained with lots of (metal)boardwalks. After the first section, there is a detour to a large cave. You can swim there, but it is very cold. The middle section goes along the side of the mountain through metal gangways, with beautiful views of the valley. The final section is a steep climb with barely any cover for the sun. You definitely need enough water during the summer. They also warn you about this. If you are near, it is definitely worth taking this hike.

Fantastic hike! It order to get to the trail head, you need to park in the parking lot (4 euros) on the other side of the town. This adds a nice walk through the historic streets, just follow the signs. Then you buy a ticket at the city hall (ayuntamiento), it's 5 eur per person. The hike isn't long, but you will definitely spend long time taking a lot of pictures on this beautiful trail. I absolutely loved it!

Amazing walk down into the canyon alongside the river. Steep descent, some sloping boardwalks, some wooden stairs, some walking on rocky ground. Not easy for anyone with mobility issues. The walkways along the cliff side are amazing and scary at the same time, but the views of the beautiful river take precedence!

Starting at the paid entrance was actually a plus. The staff gave us a map and excellent advice for the route. There's also a shop there to buy water before you start. We hiked with our 17-month-old in a toddler backpack carrier. Our advice: pack light, wear breathable clothing, but don’t skimp on proper hiking shoes! The trail was said to take 1.5 to 2 hours, and we walked at a pretty steady pace and completed it in just over an hour. We found a very small shaded area after the main lookout point to have a quick bite, but there aren’t really any places to rest along the way. If you can, take your time, stop often, and enjoy the stunning views and waterfall. Don’t forget a hat, sunblock, and plenty of water! Highly recommended for nature lovers, families, and anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic adventure.

I'm not giving it 5 stars because the entrance is not free. I must agree with other people that it sucks that you have to pay to enjoy nature. But the nature was great. The river was a blast. Very beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot. We were there in the middle of June and walk almost everything by ourselves at our own pace. I didn't know you could swim in the river so I recommend bring swim suit. And good shoes too!

Lovely hike for all levels. A Walk along the mountain boardwalks with views to a river, a small dam and valleys. Look above and see the vultures fly. 4 euros tourism fee which you need to pay at the town hall which is next to the entrance of the beginning of the walk. It's a light walk with a bit of an uphill towards to the end. Nice to go with the family as it's not too difficult

Nice fortified Church to visit. €3 entrance. Unfortunately the guided tour seemed to only be in Spanish. Beautiful construction, fantastic wall paintings. Central Garden need attention but nice overall.

A beautiful ancient church that survived several eras, preserved in fairly good condition. Admission costs 3 euros and includes a guided tour in Spanish. The roof and windows offer stunning views of the city and surroundings.

The Museum collection is small but interesting. The view and the breeze from the arched windows are worth the the price of admissions

Very well preserved, entrance is €3 for a guided tour, the tour guide is funny, welcoming and very professional

We visited the town and the church. We loved it

Great tour guide with printed translations. If the door is closed during opening hours, just wait until he finishes his current tour and opens it.

2.5 EUR entry fee. Every 30 mins or so. Worth visiting.

Bedrooms are good and the buildings seem, for the most part, recently renovated. The staff is not at all friendly and makes no effort to speak a language other than Spanish. If you don't speak Spanish it will be very complicated! The SPA is unfortunately not very hygienic (showers broken, no jet to clean flip-flops,...) and too many people at once. The restaurants are too small compared to the size of the hotels ! They makes you wait in line for 15 to 45 minutes to eat... this is not normal. Only one of the restaurants is large, the "buffet" which is not really a buffet because it only offers a few dishes. Very low-end unfortunately (not worthy of a 4 star). Very unfortunate because the view of the mountains is superb, it is possible to go cross-country skiing, and we are close to a ski resort (+- 25 min). With investment, more open-mindedness and the use of abandoned buildings, there is really a lot of potential!

Stunning location. Incredible food at the buffet option included at Hotel Continental. Clean and comfortable rooms, although slightly small.

The location is stunning, beautiful place for walks and enjoying the nature. The hotel however, was a let down. We attended as part of a wedding, and while the whole wedding was amazing (beautiful church, lovely outdoors drinks and canapes, and delicious food throughout the day, a beautiful indoor venue in the casino), the part of were we stayed for our accommodation, was not what you expect from a 4 star hotel. This is the older looking part on the left of the connecting bridge. The lighting in the room was poor, the room was furnished with outdated furniture, the beds had wheels and the bed moved when a large person like my pregnant self moved. There was black mold in the shower, and poor toiletries (a small bottle of shampoo and shower gel for each person and only 1 hand soap). We were also given only 1 card/key for our room. The cups were paper cups, the fridge was empty. When I asked for an iron to iron our clothes I was told they only had one and it was taken out so I needed to wait for that person to bring it back. When I finally got the iron there was no ironing board. The free wifi is weak and intermittent, so in our room for example I had poor connection and to do our flight check in I went to reception, but internet wasn't better there. We had dinner provided by the wedding family, which was nice, but the breakfast was OK. A lot of variety of ham/ cheeses, breads, fruits, and cereal, but the eggs on both days of our stay were cold. I have not used the spa facilities as my friend who went before me, said that the water was between cool and cold, so I skipped that experience. The staff was trying to be helpful, but most had limited English so they found it difficult to assist us. No brochure or information pack in the room. Our room was very quiet, and had a nice view of the river. Overall it was a pleasant experience, but compared to a 4 star hotel in other areas (such as nearby Huesca), you get a lot less.

Bad experience which I do not recommend The surrounding area is outstanding and worth a visit. The spa was far from relaxing and generally cold anywhere you go. Finish sauna usually runs in between 80 and 110 whereas it was barely 65 here. Same issue with hammam, jacuzzi and so on. The place was poorly maintained if not without maintenance at all. From not being able to lock the toilet door, to different heath and safety hazards found such as electric plug hanging, broken showers, broken doors, mould on silicone around sinks and swimming pool, not to mention the ceiling on the sauna or hammam which is clearly heath and safety risk. The general hygiene is bad and this left us with a sense of carelessness I have never seen before. After mentioning the issue for such a high price allowing only 1h15 mn in, the weak apology from the reception mentioning they were not aware left us wondering if anyone is at all taking care of this place. Such a shame. I would recommend many smaller spa I have been in which are clean and well maintained, hot and well equipped. A waste of time and money. Careful if on top of that you booked the hotel, you will be very disappointed.

Hotel communicate only in Catalonian, all messages come in Spain/Catalonian. Even no options choose English. There is no kingsize bed, two separated beds on rollers. They are moving all night long :))) Stuff is perfect, restaurant superb!

The lake and the grounds are nice, but there are so many decaying buildings that it gives you the feel that you’re on Shutter Island. There aren’t many places for young kids so it was just a quick trip for us as we couldn’t go walking with them.

The buffet lunch was terrible, the hotel itself is falling apart outside and a stroll around soon reveals the state of disrepair and abandoned look of everything. I held my wedding reception here 22 years ago before the refurbishment job and it was beautiful. What the new owners have done to the place is bordering on criminal.

it brings back good old memories from my first stay about eleven years ago... great place for a spiritual retreat experience, or just to spend a long weekend. it's worth checking in advance with the reception whether buddhist monks will be around performing their daily schedule of prayers though. oxo

Delicious BBC, bread banana carrot and wonderful chai tea too. Very friendly staff 🙏🏼

Small Buddhist temple totally out of place in the prepireneo. Acomodation available for study groups and retreats.

Good place to calm down. The main Lama there, Lama Drubgyu isa nice person. Wise and kind.

Nice vibrations.

Just one word : LOVE 💚

(Translated by Google) Aínsa is one of the most beautiful towns you can visit in the area (and I'd say in the country, without exaggeration). You'll easily spot the fortress, which also has a parking lot next to it. At the top of its walls, admire the surrounding valleys and mountains from its viewing points, feel the wind on your face, enjoy nature, and walk along the wall like a king. This free attraction won't take long. Take a walk to see the views and also the details of the wall. Take your influencer photo and stop by the bathroom to relieve yourself before getting in the car. (Original) Aínsa es uno de los pueblos más bonitos que puedes visitar en la zona (y yo diría del país, sin exagerar). Fácilmente verás la fortaleza, que además tiene un parking al lado. En lo alto de su muralla, divisa en sus miradores los valles y las montañas alrededor, siente el viento en tu cara, disfruta de la naturaleza y camina por la muralla como si fueras un rey. Atracción gratuita y que no te llevará mucho tiempo, date una vuelta para ver las vistas y también alrededor los detalles de la muralla. Hazte tu foto de influencer y pasa por el baño para evacuar antes de coger el coche.

(Translated by Google) A Romanesque-style defensive enclosure, built on Arab remains in the 11th century, the original site underwent several changes over the centuries. The interior of the walls is reinforced with semicircular arches, clearly Romanesque in style, despite dating from the 17th century. These supported the promenade along the wall, or the guard's patrol path. The oldest part of the Castle Fortress is the Keep, which currently houses the Eco-Museum Visitor Center. The town's inhabitants took refuge within its walled enclosure in case of danger. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest since 1931.

En su recinto amurallado se refugiaban los habitantes de la villa en caso de peligro. Considerado Bien de Interés Cultural desde 1931.

(Translated by Google) We were on our second day of our motorcycle trip, following the Trans-Pyrenees Route, and we stopped in this beautiful and spectacular medieval town of Aínsa, located in the Huesca Pyrenees, in the Sobrarbe region, south of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. It sits on a promontory above the confluence of the Cinca and Ara rivers and is made up primarily of two almost parallel streets, Calle Mayor and Calle Santa Cruz, which flow into the Plaza Mayor. Further west, the Castle appears, extending across a wide esplanade. This Castle-Fortress of Aínsa is located at the western end of the Plaza Mayor. Its oldest part is the Torre del Homenaje (Keep Tower), built on Moorish remains in the 11th century and surrounded by a walled enclosure where the town's inhabitants took refuge in case of danger. The original enclosure underwent various changes over the centuries, and the fortress's current appearance reflects the fortification policy of Philip II (17th century) and follows the same principles as the Citadel of Jaca. To build it, some 70 houses on the western edge of the town were demolished. Inside, the walls are reinforced by high arcades with semicircular arches, clearly Romanesque in style despite dating from the 17th century, whose function is to support the Paseo (or Coastal Path). The only gate leads to the Plaza Mayor, which until not many years ago was preceded by a moat, now filled in, and crossed by a drawbridge. A visit to this castle is highly recommended, as is the spectacular medieval town of Aínsa, which is also deservedly included on the List of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain. (Original) Estábamos en nuestro segundo día de viaje en moto, realizando la Ruta Transpirenaica, y paramos en esta bonita y espectacular población medieval de Aínsa, situada en el Pirineo de Huesca, en la comarca de Sobrarbe, al sur del Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido. Se emplaza en un promontorio sobre la confluencia de los ríos Cinca y Ara, y está formada principalmente por dos calles casi paralelas, la calle Mayor y la calle Santa Cruz que desembocan en la Plaza Mayor. A continuación, en dirección oeste, aparece el Castillo que se extiende por una amplia explanada. Este Castillo Fortaleza de Aínsa, está situado en el extremo oeste de la Plaza Mayor, siendo su parte más antigua la Torre del Homenaje, construida sobre restos árabes en el siglo XI y rodeada de un recinto amurallado donde se refugiaban los habitantes de la villa en caso de peligro. El primitivo recinto fue sufriendo diversos cambios a lo largo de los siglos y el aspecto actual de la fortaleza responde a la política de fortificación de Felipe II (siglo XVII) y sigue los mismos criterios que la Ciudadela de Jaca. Para construirlo se derribaron unas 70 casas del extremo occidental del pueblo. En el interior los muros están reforzados por arquerías elevadas con arcos de ½ punto, de evidente sabor románico a pesar de datar del siglo XVII y cuya función es la de sostener el Paseo o Camino de Ronda. La única puerta da a la Plaza Mayor, que hasta no hace muchos años estaba precedida por un foso, ahora cegado, que se salvaba mediante el correspondiente puente levadizo. Recomendable visitar este castillo, así como visitar esta espectacular localidad medieval de Aínsa, que además está incluida en la Lista de los Pueblos más Bonitos de España, y además con todo merecimiento.

Accesible para silla de ruedas (salvo, obviamente, el paso de ronda) Acceso gratuito al castillo, que está abierto todo el dia.

(Translated by Google) A lovely visit. And for just €1 an hour, in the parking lot right at the entrance. (Original) Bonita visita. Y por solo 1€ la hora, en el parking que está justo ala entrada

This stop was part of our Spanish cooking and hiking holiday with Argon Active. The entire medieval town is interesting. The picture of the wall is to show the ancient river bed that the town is built on. It looks like you can pull out the rocks but you can't.

Magical place, it's like going back in time.

Hidden above the modern town, the medieval heart sits on a hill and is a fantastic place to visit. There is a car park for those who don't have the stamina to walk. The main square has a few restaurants, cafes and tourist gift shops tucked away in the archways. Next to the square there is a small park and the remains of a fortress which offers great views over the old town and the mountains. You can easily spend a couple of hours here.

Its a very nice town, with lovely streets. You can walk around and enjoy the view of this charming town. You have a few souvenir shops and a square with restaurants as well. I would also recommend going to the eco museum nearby about the bearded vultures nearby

Stunning place would have liked to spend more time here especially if we stayed in one of the nice looking hotel's.

Quite nice plaza mayor. Requires a little walking, and not very wheelchair or highheels friendly due to the cobbles.. Has some interesting shops. The restaurants in the plaza are fairly well priced and have a half decent selection of food. The castle at the end is worth walking around for some photo opportunities.

Beautiful old Town. The castle is nearby for a great photo from the top. The town isn't large so easy to see it all in a few hours. Great bars around and good food.

À two hours walk up and down from the car park accessing the site. One advice, put some sturdy thick waterproof shoes as the path can be both rocky and very wet.

Cable car, chair lift and 15mins walk to lake. If you buy a ticket you get free car parking. The walk down is lovely, but difficult in places. Please wear good footwear

Beautiful lake in the mountains. An hour climbing from the parking and then you get a great view on the lake and the surrounding mountains, which can be enjoyed from the terrace of the L’Hotelerie. And easy to go down with the “telesiege”

It was a splendid day, enjoyed nature, highly recommended…

Lac de Gaube boasts an altitude of 1,725 ​​metres. There are two ways to get to Lake Gove. The first way is to go up to the middle of the mountain on the summer lift. Get off the lift and walk for about 20 minutes to reach Lake Gove. For those with a lot of energy, I recommend a one-and-a-half hour hike along the pine forest path after crossing the Spanish Bridge (Pont d’Espagne). If you reach Lake Gove by any means you choose, you will be able to enjoy the spectacular view of the 3,298 meter high peak of Vignemale Mountain reflected on the clear water. Strongly recommend to give a visit.

Beautiful Lake with great hiking trails

It’s a good two hour hike with breaks for lunch from the Parking to the lake. You can choose to hike up and come down using the telesiege/telecabin (we did this ) although most people prefer taking the lift up and then trekking down :) either way it’s a beautiful lake and even if you take a return trip with the ski lifts, there’s a nice track all around the lake which is a good walk .. I did the hike with my 6 year old (first hike) uphill and she managed luckily ;)we saw many kids hiking down .. the bar/cafe at the lake is good but only accepts CASH/cheque so carry cash!! Carry a big trash bag as you are not allowed to throw trash along the way and need to carry it back to the parking :)

An amazing adventure to Pico Perdido. Solo climbed it from La Pradesa Ordessa via Ruta de Escaleras(5 resaltes), this is a unique route than the normal route via La Escupidera, but for experts only as it involves exposed section, dangerous when climbing without ropes. The summit is wonderful with open views all around.

I absolutely love this place. It has all the ingredients for an optimal encounter between yourself and nature at its best. No matter your age, as long as you can open your eyes, the views and the landscape will take your breath away. Pure oxygen will enter into your lungs with every single step you take while contemplating the creation god has given to us. There are trails for amateurs as well as experience hickers. If you happen to be near this area please do take the time to endulge in nature.

Super gorgeous. Easy to park and you can easily hike all day here.

It's beautiful, but watch out for the aliens! 👽

This outstanding mountain landscape, which spans the contemporary national borders of France and Spain, is centred around the peak of Mount Perdu, a calcareous massif that rises to 3,352 m. The site, with a total area of 30,639 ha, includes two of Europe's largest and deepest canyons on the Spanish side and three major cirque walls on the more abrupt northern slopes with France, classic presentations of these geological landforms. The site is also a pastoral landscape reflecting an agricultural way of life that was once widespread in the upland regions of Europe but now survives only in this part of the Pyrénées. Thus it provides exceptional insights into past European society through its landscape of villages, farms, fields, upland pastures and mountain roads. UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES

The warm welcome by the underground command center personnel was the best part, although the hike is also nice. The static electricity near the transceiver on the surface level is a bit much though.

Breath breaking canyon full of waterfalls and different animals as marmots.

Nice waterfall and nature place. Dogs not allowed. Not friendly for strollers and toddlers.

My daughter and I had a fabulous walk to Pont d’Espagne and then took the chair lift up to the lake. The €24 ticket price (for two) saved the €8 parking, and was well worth it. The lake was a beautiful landscape to roam about in. But the icing on the cake was the walk/scramble back down the path - a truly memorable walk in the mountains!!

It was such a magical and mesmerising sight 🩵 The view is amazing! People go hiking here as well which is around 3 hours I heard but we took the télésiège (chairlift). It was closed two weeks ago but it is finally open since the weather allows it. There are two, the first one is a closed capsule and a shorter ride to one base, from there you can walk further, we took the second chairlift which was open as it is also used by skiers during winters. It was mildly scary because we were a bit afraid of the height but it is taken by multiple people for years now so we safely made it. While coming back down it was a little scarier as it kept pausing but that was due to many people getting on so they had to hold and adjust as they had kids along as well. Overall a fun experience as it gets you to the Lac de Gaube and Pont d'Espagne!

Good starting point for some epic hiking! (Or shorter walks if you have to 😉) Lots of parking, but would advise getting there nice and early. Alternatively, there's a regular shuttle bus service from Cauterets - check with the local tourist office for timings.

Picturesque place 🥰😍 It took around 15 minutes to get to the bridge as it was raining, everything was wet and it was a little bit dangerous to go on foot. But the rain didn't spoil the atmosphere of the mountains, waterfalls, nature if incredible here!

Practical information first. The car park is large and well organised, and the parking is free if you take the lifts to the top. Else it is between 7-10 euro for the day. There is a gondola which takes you to the bridge and an amazing waterfall with a restaurant. The walk to this part is quick and easy so perhaps the gondola is not needed. After that there is a chairlift to the top or a 1.5 hour walk. At the end of the chairlift it is a 15 minute easy walk to the lake. You can swim in the lake but it is very cold! Also available at the top is a restaurant but take some cash because there is not much service so sometimes cards do not work. There is a walk you can do halfway around the lake which takes about 25 minutes. It’s a pretty rocky walk. The lake is beautiful and the mountains that surround it are amazing. I recommend this visit to anyone.

Natural beauty and ahhhmazing. There are a couple ways to get to the bridge and waterfall. One is a paved, upward climbing way- suitable for driving chairs and strollers and for me. There is a more rugged way up- a nice path over stones and rocks. You choose! At the top stop for a drink at the restaurant. Also, this is on way to the lake. From this point, hike up about an hour. From the bottom, take the cable car up and then walk.

(Translated by Google) Although it is summer and there is no snow, it is a must-see, the Marbore trail and the waterfalls. A lot has changed, too much tourism. The bridge is under construction, you can cross the old road on foot. There is parking for 3 euros per day, they do not allow parking on the sides, a fine of €200, the Parador with a barrier. I think that for Aragonese it should be free. Just like they do in other autonomous regions where at least they have a reduced price for those there. (Original) Aunque es verano y no hay nieve es de obligada visita, camino Marbore y las cascadas. Ha cambiado mucho, demasiado turismo. El puente está en obras, se puede pasar por la carretera vieja andando. Hay parking 3 euros día, no dejan aparcar en los laterales, multa de 200 €, el Parador con barrera. Opino que para los aragoneses debería ser gratuito. Al igual que hacen en otras autonomías en las que al menos tienen precio reducido para los de allí.

We had a great rafting trip! Well organized, good instructions and a very nice experience. Thank you so much!

We were a family of 3 with a 8 year old. Always feel safe. We had an awesome time with Carlos. Highlight recommended the whole team…. Five star!!

We had an excellent time as a family. The guides give clear instructions and make sure everyone is having fun. Equipment is all in good condition and everything is super organized. They're associated with Adventure Saratillo in Ainsa, which I also recommend.

Very disappointed. We did canyoning with this organisation. Because of rain they went to another canyon for safety reasons which is good. Unfortunately the chosen canyon was way to difficult for us. Very dangerous. We were with family with 3 teenagers. It would have been better to cancel the day but I guess they didn't want to miss the money

Great vibe from these guys. Our guide dolphin was informative, experienced and had a good laugh with our group. Highly recommended.

very nice rafting. professional, certified staff that takes safety and humor very serious. Sinfronteras sais it is from 3 years and up but I am 36 and really had a lot of fun.

It was such an amazing experience doing rafting with the team ! The team was really nice and funny 😊 It was an unique and unforgivable memory

It is such a magical feeling beyond explanation. I just felt a sense of calmness and peace. Amen.

Historical place for Chatolic, quite place for praying & contemplation. Flash back & thank you for blessing me & fam.

As soon as you get to Lourdes the air, the senses and everything comes alive. Unfortunately I went without faith but with the knowledge that it was one of our Lady's home. In hindsight it made all the difference in my reversion. Go, with or without faith, Our Mother will love you regardless and grant you graces accordingly.

The place where st Bernadette Soubirous is said to have seen the Lourdes apparitions is called the "grotto of Massabielle", which is the most famous place in the sanctuary. The Lourdes water flows from a spring located inside the cave. From 2014 to 2018, the surroundings of the grotto were modified to facilitate the passing of pilgrims through the various facilities around the grotto. A new esplanade was built on the banks, taps providing water from the spring were moved away from the grotto while new fountains for pilgrims were created, baths were renovated and a new bridge was built. Chapel of lights were built on the right bank for pilgrims to light candles.

My experience in Lourdes was nerve wrecking, after the immersion I felt the tingling sensation from my painful, tight left leg disappeared. I truly believe that miracles do happen.

Very divine, holy.

Awesome experience. Peaceful, tranquil, you can feel the presence of Our Blessed Mother.

As a catholic, I’m writing this review with great pleasure and joy. It was my first time in Lourdes and I felt so special and blessed. Please note there’s a candlelight procession happening at 9pm at night every day from April to October. Also there are several mass services in different churches in the premises. You can buy bottles from near by shops and fill holy water. There’s staff that help you with information and guiding you through. Have a pleasant pilgrimage Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for us

If you are a devotee of the Mother of Jesus Mary, if you are desperate for healing, this place makes miracles. So many devotees from around the world would flock this Holy place. So many proven miracles of healing that science couldn't explain. A beautiful place for everyone to experience the love of Mother Mary expressed through feelings of hope and love for Jesus and his mother.

A Place of Deep Faith, Peace, and Healing The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes is one of the most moving and spiritual places in the world. From the moment you enter the grounds, there is an overwhelming sense of peace, faith, and reverence. The atmosphere is filled with quiet devotion, where pilgrims from all over the world come to pray, reflect, and find healing. The Grotto of Massabielle, where the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint Bernadette, is incredibly serene — especially during the evening candlelight procession, a truly unforgettable experience of unity and prayer. The basilicas, chapels, and walkways are beautifully maintained, and everything radiates a feeling of hope and grace. Whether you visit for spiritual reasons or simply to experience its profound tranquility, Lourdes touches the heart in a very special way. A sacred destination that inspires faith and peace beyond words.

Visiting here for the first time was truly breathtaking. The sanctuary is grand, magnificent, and more beautiful than any place I have ever seen. If you visit, you will feel the same wonder and excitement that I felt.

Lovely day taking in the beauty of Lourdes and it's surroundings. Very quiet on a Monday as most places were shut, but we did manage to find one place selling gorgeous crepes.

Beautiful grounds. Inspiring architecture. It's like a religious Disneyland. Healing waters. Round the clock rosary. 25000 seat basilica.

It is good to visit in early November, when it is much less visitors. I stayed for 6 days and having a serene time and a profound spiritual experience.

Reasonably priced. Managed to park right outside the station. Had to queue fir about 10 minutes. Funicular was packed on the way up, so not much view. At the top was spectacular. Had to walk further up from the cafe to see the huge metal cross. Would highly recommend booking a table before you go up if you want to eat.

It was great to visit this viewpoint in Lourdes. Loved all about it. The tickets for furnicular is €13.50 pp. It was well worth the money. The last furnicular goes up hill at 4pm. So make sure you go before to enjoy the scenic views.

A must do when in Lourdes. The view is amazing. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't very busy. After you reach the top, you can hike a little further to the very top by the cross. It was so peaceful I fell asleep and got a little sun. You can hike your way back down or even bike down if you choose.

Well worth a visit. We were not stopping I Lourdes but passing through and came accross the fenicular. Great views from the top. Not suitable for those less mobile.

A great experience providing amazing views over Lourdes, the Pyrenees and surrounding towns. A must for nature lovers.

Lovely 😍 place for relaxing. It is quiet with great views 👍. Lovely staff with a smile on their face highly recommend.

Excellent afternoon out travelling up the mountain overlooking Lourdes. Great mountain walkers and viewing.

Mandatory to stop here… great views! You can see lamas around and you can start the trekking to the Pic Du Mid

Stunning views when sunny. The weather changed every 5 mins. Very quiet in October.

Awesome experience, even though it was cloudy.

The hardest and most rewarding days cycling I have ever done. Stopped at the ski resort for lunch and then made the summit after. Views are spectacular.

Beautiful, if you can walk up above the road onto the ridge, you will not be disappointed

Is there a better place to experience Tour the France? Stunning views, friendly atmosphere and perfect place for cycling.

It's a must-visit if you're anywhere near the Pyrenees.

A mountain peak with observatory, restaurant & amazing views... if the sky is clear! When we visited there were a few interesting exhibits, with a photo history of the peak and a sun-tracking telescope where one could see flares. We booked the first cable car of the day so found it nice and quiet. Cost is hard to justify but if you like views and are in the area it's the place to be.

Although very “ touristic” I deeply recommend it. Be careful: it is an experience that takes at least 3-4 hours , including the line to the cable car up and down. At the pic , a cafe that is very expensive, so bring your own coffee and food… Also the area that the guests can walk through is very limited to 2 angles, you cannot look at views 360 degrees around which was very disappointing …

we first became aware of this through a television programme and decided that we had to do it. we wanted to book and overnight visit as we felt that this would give us the best experience. so in August 2023 we booked for July 2025, yes the wait is that long. when the time finally arrived needless to say we were very excited. We arrived at the cable car and were transported to the observatory, we were greeted and had to wait for someone who could speak some English as although we can speak fluent Spanish our French is not so good. we were given directions to our room and then told that we needed to be at a certain point for the welcome meeting. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. we were not expecting luxury as we are aware that this is a working observatory, but the bed was super comfortable and the views from the windows we breathtaking. we arrived at the welcoming meeting to discover that all of the planned activities would only be conducted in French, we asked if there was any information available for non French speakers only to be told no. Whilst the staff did everything that they could to help and make our stay the best that they could, they struggled to communicate with us. This basically meant that 98% of the planned activities were simply not accessible to us. We missed the planned tour of the facilities as this was only in French so there was not point in us attending this. Dinner was really very good and the food and drink were exceptional. The sunset was spectacular followed by a short film, which did have an English translation, however the following planetarium activity was again only available in French. The night time stars were lovely and although we did get to look through a large telescope the explanations and information meant nothing to us as once again it was only in French. We did have a great time, but for the cost that we paid, to have 98% of the activities simply not available to us it was disappointing. This is a service that attracts and international clientele, to assume that everyone who attends will be able to speak fluent French is completely unrealistic. Not to have written information or audio guides available is simply lazy or arrogant. So my warning would be that yes the experience was amazing it was somewhat ruined by the fact that we were completely excluded from the majority of the planned experiences that were available. if you do not speak fluent French then maybe you should reconsider booking an overnight stay.

We skipped all the touristic attractions like the cafe and the cable car and came here by foot. Starting from Col du Tourmalet you'll have to cover 14,4 km (round-trip) and 740 m of altitude to reach the mountaintop. Most of the path is a wide road, pretty easy to walk on. However, the topmost part is more difficult, narrow, stony and slippery. I would recommend the path only to trained people with sure-footedness and mountain-experience and without vertigo. In any case, don't forget to bring good shoes, sunscreen, food and a sufficient(!!) amount of water. It is a beautiful hike amidst rocks, sheep, lakes, ruins, mountain-flowers and lizzards. You also have a chance to glimpse griffon vultures at close range. The summit itself is beautiful and scenic, looking down on the mountain ranges and snowy tops of the Pyrenees.

Beautiful experience on a sunny day. A petty that we can’t see anymore eternal snow with the global warming. A must to do.

Appalling tourist trap. If you can hike up, sure, that's the way to see this mountain, but paying €160 to be packed like sardines into the telecabine, then restricted to a terrace without access to the mountain itself, was lousy. The restaurant was over €50 each (for a burger), maybe it was nice but we didn't splash. The bistro had coffee & cakes. The planetarium show at €6 each, was just dire - a 20 minute reenactment of early days at the observatory, followed by the most basic explanation of Hydrogen forming stars, without any use of astronomical images.

Great experience - and a must-go in the Pyrenees. The cable car ride is a great adventure in itself - and the view from the platform is awesome! The bistro is a particularly great experience - very nice service and a large selection.

Not the friendliest/patience for English speakers. Outdoor hot baths are a lovely experience but 2 hours is over far too quick when you include time to get changed, showered etc. 3 hours would feel more of a reasonable duration.

Very “tired” building. A lot of facilities didn’t work, the interior looks like you are in the middle of the construction work. They need to repair everything. Stuff was unexpectedly rude. The nature outside is great.

Although we live 75kms from Loudenvielle, we used to love a weekly visit to Balnea. We used to love the pampering - white towels and Prija shower gel included in the service - Japanese baths heated to 40°C - peaceful silence throughout. Gone now are these little things that made our visits so relaxing and worth while. Gone are the white towels included in the entry price. Gone too is the shower gel and the obligation to shower before getting into the baths. Gone is our favourite feature - the Japanese bath at 40°C (now heated to a mere 36°C). We gave Balnea one last visit recently - the chatter and noise everywhere except the saunas was overwhelming; the place was crowded and felt like a public municipal pool facility. A hot shower at home is more therapeutic than the Japanese baths at 36°C. I guess good things never last. Farewell Balnea!

Amazing lunch and lovely spa. Many different themed rooms with varying types of pool/ sauna. Enjoyed the choices, some pools hotter than others. Outside pools have views of the surrounding mountains. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful thermal bath with a great idea - you can travel to Japan or Peru or relax in the Roman baths. The thermal water is great - but some restrictions: Unfortunately, long line in front of the entrance - on a Tuesday outside of the holiday season at 2.45 p.m. The changing rooms are really bad, you don't feel well. You are not allowed to wear flip-flops or take a towel with you into the sauna - that means everyone is sweating on the wood and you have to sit in the sweat of others. The very dark shower room is a major disaster, much too small and not discreet. You can't really take a shower naked and clean yourself before and after the thermal bath, that urgently needs to be changed. Please.

Probably the strangest spa I ever visited… and I did visit many, in multiple countries. There are no deck chairs AT ALL. Not even a single bench or chair to sit on. One can be either in the pool or stand somewhere. Staff asks you to leave EVERYTHING in the locker, including towel, book… or whatever else you might need… NOT a place to relax at all. Money wasted.

The shower was cold, pools outside were cold, pools inside were cold. Sauna was warm. People were shivering walking between pools. They said "it's only 3 degrees cooler in the hot pool" and wouldn't find is any kind of refund. AND you've got to wear speedos. 1/10 would not recommend

A tiny lake is surrounded by an asphalt walking path suitable for bicycles, about 2.7 km long. The water in the lake is very cold and looks clean and full of water plants. All around we found fast food places, ice creams, boats for rent and inflatables in the water for children, on the shore of the lake in front of the attractions, a lot of noise... make your decision where to sit. Behind the boat rental business are convenient and relatively clean public toilets. There is plenty of parking around Lake -the parking spaces are marked "private parking" even those on the main road. Many park there without considering the signage.

Beautiful lake at Loudenville surrounded by mountains. The view is breathtaking. I have been there multiple times and it never disappoints. There is a thermal bath nearby to relax if you are tired of trekking.

Such a great place to visit ! The landscape its amazing ! The lake and mountains combine together to make a magic place ! Don’t hesitate to visit it !

An extremely beautiful place with easy access.

Must visit! Beautifull clean lake with great views.

Nice lake, good natural resource.

Best place to be with your family in Pyrenees

Highly recommended for families or traveling solo. Very close from Bagneres de Luchon. The park itself is beautiful with some amazing views to the mountains.

We went with our car club to this lovely park. It is well laid out with a circuit route that you can follow easily. The animals are well treated, some of them are rescued and seem happy there. The deer and mountain goats are free to wander and are very at ease with people. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would recommend a visit.

We had fun visiting this park. It is also very clean compared to other animal park. Friendly staff, they're always around when you have question about the animals. Also the view is amazing!!! Highly recommended 👌

Value for money - too expensive! This park should cost 10€ max for adult. It is a nice walk in the nature with the specific animals. 2/5 mainly because of the price. For 10€ I would give it 4/5, not more.

I came specifically to see the bears and the pine marten. At the start of the park, the animals looked well and had good spaces. When I saw the bears, I was very sad..they had quite a small space to their size, and they seemed distressed. They were pacing back and forth constantly, it just seemed they were unhappy. Maybe I am wrong, and they were doing their morning exercises! It was the same with the pine marten, I only saw one and again it was going back and forth with no purpose, didn't appear relaxed and comfortable at all. The other animals were in pairs/groups and appeared well and content in their spaces.

Lovely animal park in the middle of the forest, almost every kind of animal had young ones which gives me the feeling all in all they are in good shape. Very natural feel to it. Mind you that most of the park is shaded in the morning so bring warm clothes, in September it was already chilly.

We loved this park, loads of animals which are running "freely" around you so you can get very close to them. Nicely managed and very relaxing environment. There is a little caffee stand with WC near the end of the circle. Be prepared for a few steep walks during the visit tho.

These people will steal your money and have no idea what customer service means. I made a reservation for gear rental online. When I arrived at 8:30 am to pick up, turns out the place is not located at the address posted in Google. Also, the hours are incorrect. They open at 9am. When I tried to call keep sending me to voice mail saying they were close. I'm a tourist and I was part of a group and we had an agenda. Since I couldn't get ahold of these people I had to rent gear somewhere else to be able to move on with my vacation trip. As soon as I had wifi access. I respectfully sent an email asking to cancel my reservation and get my money back because their contact information was all wrong and as a tourist I have limited communication. They literally say that it was my fault because they call me and that they will not give me my money. I explained my phone is from the US and didn't have full service. That they could have emailed me but thy never tried to contact me until I emailed them. So I respectfully ask to them to understand that is a big deal when you work in a tourist spot and your contact information is all wrong. Because this is how tourist find you. They basically ignore me and just charge my credit card. That's stealing. Not to mention some of the local businesses I asked for information said that it wasn't the first time people come and ask looking for these guys. So it have happened before.

Very nice personnel, nice skies.

The only good part of Skicenter was definitely the best teacher: Pau!! He’s very experienced and knowledgeable, and he has a whole range of ways to explain things if you don’t get something. Unfortunately, my experience with Skicenter didn’t really meet my expectations. Moltes gràcies Pau!

(Translated by Google) Spectacular, I have no other word. We have taught with Facundo, the best teacher you can choose. He has taught us everything. We started without knowing anything and we ended the third day skiing in parallel. The enjoyment is spectacular, the views are impressive and the experience is wonderful, we will definitely repeat it. Facu has guided us through the slopes, recommended others and made the experience something superior, we leave very happy. And as for the rental, very good, the equipment is new and we took the ticket office with them too, next to the 1500 and a good price. I recommend it 100% Thanks Facu (Original) Espectacular, no tengo otra palabra. Hemos dado clase con Facundo, el mejor profesor que puedas elegir. Nos ha enseñado de todo. Empezamos sin saber nada y hemos acabado el tercer día esquiando en paralelo. El disfrute es espectacular, las vistas impresionantes y la experiencia una maravilla, vamos a repetir seguro. Facu nos ha guiado por las pistas, nos ha recomendado otras y ha hecho de la experiencia algo superior, nos vamos muy contentos. Y en cuanto al alquiler muy bien, los equipos están nuevos y cogimos la taquilla con ellos también, al lado del 1500 y buen precio. Lo recomiendo 100% Gracias Facu

Good service and classes are good!

(Translated by Google) We went skiing with my girls and took Facu and Miguel, our instructors. They're both wonderful. The girls had a great time, and we went back the next time we went. I'm already looking forward to skiing next season!! 💕 (Original) Fuimos a esquiar con mis niñas y cogimos a los monitores Facu y Miguel. Son encantadores ambos. Las niñas se lo pasaron en grande y repetimos la siguiente vez que fuimos. Ya deseando esquiar la temporada q viene!! 💕

(Translated by Google) 1000% recommended! I took a class with Professor Pau and it was an unbeatable experience! Besides being a great guy, he's a fantastic technique teacher. I learned so much from him, and I'm sure I'll be back to this school. (Original) 1000% recomendable! Hice la clase con profesor Pau y experiencia inmejorable! A parte de que es un tío 10, gran profesor de técnica. Aprendí mucho con el, estoy seguro que volveré a esta escuela

This is a nice ski resort. In fact, the largest ski resort in Spain. Easily accessible by car. The whole area is very nice. 2h away by car from Toulouse and 3.5h by car from Barcelona. Plenty of slopes. Only 1 green slope so not quite good for beginners. Children area isn’t bad. Food and drinks on the slope are good and not expensive. Very large underground parking is available right under the gondola lift. 15 euro for the whole day. Daily ski pass cost 70 euro. (Winter season 2024/25) 160km slopes in total. Friendly staff all around.

What an incredible place to ski, amazing slopes with every level slopes from beginners to advanced and expert skiers. The Baqueira Beret slope system is not only in perfect conditions, but also very well supervised and taken care of. There are 4 main mountains to ski, 90 slopes and there is enough to not do one slope twice. They have a lot of artificial snow makers that give you a great ski experience even days away from the last snow fall. The views are great, ski pass prices are around 70€ per day and come with an insurance in case of accident. Rescue patrols are always on the lookout. There are numerous number of ski and Snowboard schools if you’d like to take private of group classes, prices starting from 75/h. If you are looking to rent, Intersports or La Rider are great places to get good quality equipment. Amazing ski location! Don’t forget to go to the Aprés Ski at the Moet & Chandon bar (in Beret) or at the 1500 bar (at the base of Baqueira)

Great Resort in general! Just sometimes have to drive to other parkings higher up because of the amount of people, and in the morning hours you can get stuck in traffic. The resort is huge so you will always find some slopes with few people even when you would think that it'll be crowded

Baquiera Beret is like Europe's hidden gem of a ski resort. Compared to their more pricey and popular resorts further north, Baquiera is shockingly very good in both absolute and relative terms. Even in relatively late season, we experienced snowfall literally every day we were there, pretty much guaranteeing amazing snow and powder experience - this compounded by the fact that the resort is relatively free of large crowds (especially in neighbouring mountains Beret and Bonaigua) and you get some of the most pristine and pleasant pistes in the world. Infrastructure is excellent with a combination of cable cars and chairlifts that allow you to easily explore the extensive and diverse of pistes of Baquiera; not to mention the accessibility of restaurants, bars and cafes spread out across the resort should you need a quick refreshment or a leisurely meal overlooking the stunning landscape. The resort boasts a variety of pistes for all skill levels and stamina, offering scenic long runs and technical but still very enjoyable runs in the blacks. I love that many of the trails effortlessly converge and diverge from each other so that you can have the option to move from challenging to easier pistes effortlessly making meeting up with friends regardless of skill level a relatively easy affair. While English is not widely used and minimally understood (except for the more central services of the resort), we rarely faced problems communicating our needs and people were patient and generally happy to help you. Even a little knowledge in Spanish (or even better, Catalan) will go a long way in getting you around enough to enjoy your time there. Will it still retain its charm in the coming years as more people discover this understated resort? It's hard to say, but it's definitely become one of my favourites!

Nice experience. Not so crowded for the big holiday (6-9 Dec) in Spain. The slopes are wide, well kept and the lifts are nice, for could be better and then, on the downside, very little life in town, there’s only one “club” Tiffany’s and it was a pain to find good restaurants that weren’t absolutely crowded.

Great resort. Quieter than most and plenty for all standards of skier.

Very nice ski center, quite big and with some very runs. We spent 5 sunny days skiing in late February. Most of the lifts are modern and fast. The ski center was quite crowded but the queues were moving fast. Lots of parking available, we found the ones up in Beret and Orri the most convenient. What was annoying were the traffic to get to the ski center and to leave from it. Especially during Sunday it took us almost 2 hours to return to our hotel in Vielha which was just 15 km away! All in all, it is highly recommended.

Medieval cathedral near the former archbishop's Palace... Worth visiting

Amazing place

(Translated by Google) Superb Saint Lizier Cathedral. Of great architectural interest. Superb vaults. Remarkable murals and statues. Access to the cloister at the back of the cathedral. The cloister has been restored. It's a peaceful place. Don't forget to open the door that reveals the religious works preserved in a secure location. A superb visit. (Original) Superbe cathédrale de Saint Lizier. Grand intérêt architectural. Superbes voûtes. Peintures murales et statues remarquables. Accès au cloître au fond de la cathédrale.

(Translated by Google) Coming for a short hike found on Visorando, we had the good idea of ​​visiting the cathedral before going for a walk. It is a magnificent monument and from the moment we enter we are taken by the atmosphere which leads to meditation. What is striking is this little cloister which is wonderful in its small size and so charming. I will have to come back to it because all the details of the murals have to be rediscovered. We were lucky enough to be alone during this visit which gave us plenty of time to appreciate the serenity of this place. (Original) Venus pour une petite randonnée trouvée sur Visorando, nous avons eu la bonne idée de visiter la cathédrale avant d'aller marcher. C'est un monument magnifique et dés l'entrée nous sommes pris par l'ambiance qui porte à la méditation. Ce qui frappe c'est ce petit cloitre qui est merveilleux dans sa taille petite et si charmant. il me faudra y revenir car tous les détails des peintures murales sont à redécouvrir. Nous avons eu la chance d'être seules durant cette visite ce qui nous a laissé tout loisir d'apprécier la sérénité de ce lieu.

(Translated by Google) The Saint-Lizier Cathedral is a true architectural gem, a must-see for history and heritage enthusiasts. Located in the heart of the charming town of Saint-Lizier, this cathedral impresses with its beauty and its atmosphere of serenity. The building, of great historical richness with Romanesque architecture, gives it an undeniable majesty. Inside, the visit is a real journey through time: the wall frescoes, the colorful stained glass windows and the religious furniture bear witness to the spiritual and cultural importance of the place. The element that particularly struck me was the feeling of calm and contemplation that emanates from this cathedral. You can spend long moments there contemplating the architectural details while being transported by the history and atmosphere of this sacred place. The location of the cathedral, overlooking the village, also allows you to admire a magnificent view of the surrounding landscapes, adding an extra touch to this experience. Whether you are a believer or simply curious to discover a heritage treasure, the Saint-Lizier cathedral never disappoints. In summary, it is an unmissable place, both majestic and calming, where history, culture and spirituality meet to offer a unique experience. A visit not to be missed if you are passing through the region!

L'édifice, d'une grande richesse historique à l'architecture d'influences romanes , ce qui lui confère une majesté indéniable. À l'intérieur, la visite est un véritable voyage dans le temps : les fresques murales, les vitraux colorés et le mobilier religieux témoignent de l'importance spirituelle et culturelle du lieu. L'élément qui m'a particulièrement marqué, c’est la sensation de calme et de recueillement qui se dégage de cette cathédrale. On peut y passer de longs moments à contempler les détails architecturaux tout en étant transporté par l'histoire et l'ambiance de ce lieu sacré. L’emplacement de la cathédrale, surplombant le village, permet également d'admirer une vue magnifique sur les paysages environnants, ajoutant une touche supplémentaire à cette expérience.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent place of contemplation with its cloister and treasure room! What's more, the city is one of the stops for pilgrims on the Way of St. James. (Original) Magnifique lieu de recueil avec son cloître et sa salle des trésors ! Qui plus est la ville est l’une des étapes des pèlerins sur le Chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle.

(Translated by Google) We spent Saint John's Eve here. Starting at 6:00 PM, tables were set up in the square selling savory and sweet tarts in various flavors (€3) and beers (€2.50), among other drinks. A folk group performed, dancing and singing in the Occitan tradition. Around 10:20 PM, the church bells rang, and the bonfire lighting ceremony began! When the ceremony ended, some very discreet firecrackers were set off; our dog didn't even notice them (we came here to escape the firecrackers in Catalonia), since they couldn't be heard much from the apartments in Terres de France. (Original) Hemos pasado la noche de San Juan aquí. A partir de las 18:00 en la plaza se montan mesas y se venden tartaletas saladas y dulces de diferentes sabores (3€) y cervezas (2,50€) además de otras bebidas. Un grupo folklórico estuvo bailando y cantando tradición occitana. Sobre las 22:20 tocan las campanas de la iglesia y ¡empieza la ceremonia de encendida de la hoguera!. Cuando termina la ceremonia lanzan algunos petardos muy discretos, nuestra perra ni los ha notado (vinimos escapando de los petardos en Cataluña) ya que desde los apartamentos de Terres de France, no se escucha mucho.

A real tourist trap, Very disappointing experience. We came here expecting an afternoon of activities for the kids and left after 2h. There were 3 activities that took about 5 minutes each, for the rest nothing interactive and just looking at unmotivated people who only speak french. For 90€ for 5 people, this is a real tourist trap (and yes, we have done similar parks in the past where the experience was way better) In short: Best to stay away

Recreation of a "typical" Village Gaulois an hour's drive from Toulouse. It's open from 14h00 (check days). The huts have been carefully recreated since the foundation of the project 1993. The team run excellent workshops and present their "metiers". Wood working, pottery, wool.

Just bring the kids for a unique experience - Asterix may be around

Very decent place

Lots of things to discover. Plan sufficient time.

Excellent

Correct

The cave is a geological oddity with rivulets and roads cutting through it. You can walk around and see the surrounding area. To visit the museum(the cave), I recommend you make a reservation online in advance. Also, the ticket includes the other museums in the village. You can come and have a picnic. There are free parking spaces and one small restaurant next to the cave that you can get a drink/food before or after visit the cave.

Very nice guided tour for about an hour through the caves all in French all about the excavations and findings of prehistoric bones and artifacts found when digging the road passing through the cave. No pictures allowed during the guided tour. Well worth visiting. Set times for visits.

One of the most iconic caves of South Western France. Huge, very well conserved, easy of access and open all year round. The entrance fee of 11€ for a guided tour is worth for discovering in depth archeological sites within the cave. I'd advise traveling across the cave by car - jaw dropping.

It was an overwhelming experience to drive through this tunnel. Stop and take photos at both ends. Worth the extra drive!

A huge cave going right through the hillside. Big enough for a road to use it as a tunnel alongside the river. There is a small car park at the end and then you can walk into the cave and towards the museum. The surrounding countryside is very pretty with lots of hiking available. Alas we didn’t have time so I can’t comment on the museum or the surroundings in detail. But the cave is cool!

Very cool cave with a small road running through the biggest part next to a stream. A snack stand is nearby. If you pay, there’s a tour of the smaller parts of the cave with good interesting information on prehistoric life in the region.

They Only do the tour in French and not much to see there because it has been mined since Neolithic man has been there.

There's scaffolding up with works going on (it looks like wheelchair access works). So on arrival, we weren't sure if it was open, but it is !! We followed signs in the town centre for the castle-Parking, only to find ourselves going round in a circle 3 times !!! Luckily it's Easter Mon and not very busy, so we found a spot for the camper in the middle of the two main town roads. €12.50 each entry. Great castle, lots of steps once at the top. There's a long stone ramp up/down, or a lift - with several floors gor the museum. The castle itself has 'displays ' on throughout the day, blacksmith, stone mason, weapons, etc. Unfortunately very little information in English (but, of course, totally acceptable - we're in France !!!). It's a fair bit of walking - first up the the castle, and then once uo there. The towers are fabulous, but cares needed as people are going to pass up/down on spiral staircases. Loads to see in the museum - excellent value. Gift shop, toilets (no cafe). Hero exhibition upstairs is very interesting.

Great castle. Now . It is a steep old climb and your legs will be sore but it is well worth it. Going up the tower is a bit scary but well worth the view. There is so much to do here you would need a whole day to get it all done.

Perfect for stepping into a previous time in history and experiencing what life might have been like back when the castle was in its prime. It’s in amazing condition with different stalls and people explaining weapons, blacksmithing, stonework, and other interesting ideas. The demonstrations are all in French but you can ask questions in English if you want to further expand your knowledge. There’s a museum connected as well but we didn’t have time to explore that section. Give yourself ample time if you want to explore both the museum and the castle itself. A great place to bring kids or even as an adult if you enjoy history and medieval times. 🏰

Amazing day! Wish we had longer! We spent four hours with kids 4 and 5. They loved it! The guide at the armor and weapons stop was amazing!! We spent over an hour there. He even spoke pretty good English. Gift shop had good toys for the kids too.

This castle is definitely geared towards kids with weapons displays and artificial castle décor throughout. There isn’t a ton of high level historic information. The views are nice but there are a lot of steps / steep pathways. I guess I recommend coming in a cooler month than June 😎

Very well maintained medieval castle on top of a hill. It is quite a walk to get to the entrance and then an evening longer climb up cobblestones to the castle itself after the museum. The views however are breath taking. It was not as busy ai had feared it might be but it was baking hot so the climb to the top was tougher. 2 kids (13 & 9) and I managed the climb all the way to the top tower and the views were well worth the effort. This fitted in really well as a day trip along with the underground river at Labouiche.

Beautiful castle, I felt the live actors dressed in clothing from the time period made it a nice and immersive experience. The museum was filled with info and the staff was helpful, and spoke multiple languages (English, Spanish, and French of course).

No one's a clue what was going on. Need I say anything else. Couldn't book anything and it was all all the place. If you booked in advance may be better. But we didn't so....

Great zip wire fun to be had here along with a climbing course in the trees and kayaking

Excellent value for money and great fun.

Cool 😁👍

(Translated by Google) Great discovery, an afternoon filled with good humor, a super smiling and friendly duo to welcome us and guide us. A shaded park, endless zip lines, courses of several levels but ultimately with a little agility they are all doable from 11 to 44 years old as far as we are concerned 3h40 of fun !!!! At the top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 (Original) Belle découverte, une après midi rempli de bonne humeur, un binôme super souriant et sympathique pour nous accueillir et nous guider. Un parc ombragé, des tiroliennes à n'en plus finir, des parcours des plusieurs niveaux mais finalement avec un peu d'agilité ils sont tous faisable de 11 à 44 ans en ce qui nous concerne 3h40 de régalade !!!! Au top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

(Translated by Google) For my part, it was a very good experience; the courses are well-balanced. The zip line course over the Ariège River is fantastic. The staff is fantastic and open to technical questions. Please note that payment must be made in cash. (Original) Pour ma part très belle expérience, les parcours sont bien équilibrés. Le parcours tyrolienne au dessus de l’Ariège est top. Le personnel est génial, ouvert aux questions techniques. Attention il faut prévoir le paiement par espèces.

(Translated by Google) Incredible, 😍 a little haven of greenery, calm, kindness, and warmth. It feels good to settle down in a pretty, hidden spot by the river. You almost expect to see some mischievous fairies and elves appear. To discover, share, and preserve as a magical place of passage. Thank you (Original) Incroyable, 😍 petit écrin de verdure, de calme, de bienveillance et gentillesse. Il fait du bien de se poser dans un joli endroit caché en bord de rivière. On s'attendrait presque à voir surgir quelques fées et lutins espiègles . A découvrir, partager et garder comme lieu de passage magique. Merci

A fantastic museum with no less than two concords. One, a test rig and development plane, one of the very firsts of course was open to visits and was very much like the Embraer E195-E2 with 2+2 configuration I arrived on when you see to cabin space. But the entrance door on the Concord was way lower. So many objects of interests and then there is the outside that houses many more planes. There is a container way of the main building with free lockers for stuff you don’t want to carry around. Don’t forget them, I did and had to go back. There is a restaurant on the premises and next door there is a huge plane collection from a charity with an interest ion assortment of planes. Not open on my visit but you can se many of the planes from the outside.

Great experience, the exposition is just amazing, and the aircraft are quite well preserved. A must for any aviation enthusiast.

Amazing exhibition of aircraft, with a strong focus on some of Airbus' icons. The Concorde and A380 still being configured for test flights gives a unique insight compared to other aviation museums. A fantastic way to spend a couple of hours!

A very good airplane museum with a ton of well presented information. The coolest part was being able to walk inside the Concorde to learn about it and also the A380

Great experience! A chance to take a look at Concorde and Airbus 380 from the inside. Amazing. Wasn’t crowded at all on a weekday.

Great museum for all ages. Lots of information about the history of the development of planes and their preparation for use, airport operations. You can go inside the Concord or Airbus 300. Worth a visit!
