A weekend in Hautes-Pyrénées to enjoy the most beautiful sites of the department or a weekend less than two hours away to enjoy the departments around the Hautes-Pyrénées such as the Landes, the Pyrénées-Atlantiques or just beyond San-Sebastian. Unless you want to go further!
For a weekend, a week or more, the Hautes-Pyrénées have many options to take advantage of the great sites of the department or simply to discover a colorful terroir. From Gavarnie to Tarbes via Lourdes, Saint-Lary Soulan or Cauterets, there are many opportunities to take the tempo of the southwest, enjoy the beauty of the mountains and take a breath of fresh air.
After having traveled the Hautes-Pyrénées, you can extend the pleasure of the southwest to less than 2 hours from Tarbes. Discover Pau in the heart of Béarn, the Basque Country from the coast to Biarritz or San Sebastian to Cambo or Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, the Landes which seduce with its superb beaches and cycle paths to explore the largest forest of Europe. Further on, Toulouse all in pink and Bordeaux, which got rid of the image of the sleeping beauty.
