Travel Guide Bagneres-De-Bigorre

Bagnères-de-Bigorre cultivates harmony, delicacy and grandeur. Nicknamed the "Athens of the Pyrenees", Bagnères-de-Bigorre has seduced the world at every turn. Its buildings perpetuate the spa tradition with a modernism that has drawn on boldness and fun: dedicated to well-being, the spa establishments have been enriched with relaxation and care, with Aquensis and its masterful architecture. Ahead of its time and faithful to the past, this town is a legend that is lived day by day. George Sand, Lamartine and so many other illustrious names succumbed long before you did! You'd think you'd know it, but it's got bats in a museum dedicated to them. Nature here is set in marble, a precious symbol of which it is the fierce heir. The valleys that protect it open the road to the mythical summits that the most valiant sportsmen and women enjoy tackling, whether by bike or on skis: La Mongie, the Tourmalet, the Pic du Midi... This town in the Haute Bigorre region is a theater where the green curtain only goes down to make way for the white coat, and the Vallon du Salut is a haven of peace just a stone's throw from the town center, where it's good to recharge one's batteries. Proud of the culture it promotes, Bagnères is a melting pot of flavors and vertigo, as well as original musical events. In the trees, on the roads, on the cliff faces or in the hills, there's a wealth of nature activities, and we recommend a visit to Chiroulet.
