Hautes-Pyrénées
Part of the Midi-Pyrénées region, Hautes-Pyrénées is a land of contrasts. Its southern reaches are mountainous, with notable peaks including the Pic du Midi de Bigorre and the Cirque du Gavarnie in the Parc National des Pyrénées, which is a magnet for enthusiasts of outdoor pursuits. Further north, the terrain becomes more gently undulating before giving way to flat agricultural land. Several towns, including Cauterets and Luz-St-Sauveur have grown round its natural hot springs and there are also a number of popular ski resorts in the department.
CAPITAL: TARBES - Dating back to Roman times, Tarbes stands on the River Ardour and its almost equidistant location between the mountains and the sea make it a magnet for those seeking an active outdoor lifestyle. Top places to visit include the Musée Massey, Haras National stud farm and Le Jardin Massey.
