Toulouse - Lourdes - Gavarnie - St.Jean Pied de Port - Orreaga/Roncesvalles - Biarritz - Toulouse

Weekend at Pyrenees, 860 km driving. The song of Roland, Charlemagne, The Pilgrims Cross, El Camino de Santiago.

No people, no restaurants, no hotels, a lot of cleanest air, whitest snow and romantic. The ocean was stormy, so no swimming, but again, very nice view on waves suddenly appearing in the ocean.

Lourdes was empty, the holy water was freshe, the basilica was nice

Conclusion: Return to Pyrenee at spring/summer time
