In Cauterets, we know even more than elsewhere, that water is vital.

The reputation of the village dates back to the 19th century, when Victor Hugo, Alfred de Vigny, George Sand and Chateaubriand came to this Pyrenean valley to treat their ailments. Since then, the thermal baths have welcomed about 6,000 people every year.
