Brief description
This unique mountain landscape, which spans both sides of the existing national borders of France and Spain, is centered around the peak of Mount Perdu, a calcareous massif that rises to 3352 m. The site, with a total area of 30,639 ha, includes two canyons, the largest and deepest in Europe on the southern flank, the English side and three circuses important on the northern slope, steeper on the French side - Conventional geological landforms. This site is also a pastoral landscape reflecting an agricultural way of life once widespread in the mountainous regions of Europe. It remained unchanged in the twentieth century in one place in the Pyrenees, and has exceptional insights into past European society through its landscape of villages, farms, fields, upland pastures and mountain roads.

NB Other photos Gaube and the Bridge of Spain are found in the archives of this blog. The interest for me to come back (besides my passion for this valley) was able to see and photograph the lake in winter, hoping it is frozen. But the severe lack of snow was somewhat disappointed that expectation!
