Argelès-Gazost
This tiny town in the Hautes-Pyrénées with a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, Argelès-Gazost sits on the Gave de Pau river in the foothills of the Pyrenees, close to the mountains and a short distance from Lourdes. The Pyrénées Animal Park is based here, and the surrounding valleys — part of the historic Lavedan province — fall within a Natura 2000 conservation zone.
