Lourdes Holiday - Day 6 - Cauterets

A roughly 1 hour bus journey from Lourdes to Cauterets deep in the Pyrenees. For the first time in France we felt some chill in the air - at least initially on arrival. We grabbed a coffee and pastry before following our noses towards the sun and a walk. It worked out surprisingly well finding by chance a really nice route. It was a fairly gentle uphill that brought us to La Raillaire an disused former spa with hot sulphur waters.

We passed a small collection of shops and cafes which we decided would be our lunch stop later in the day before heading up a woodland path near a series of waterfalls.

Lunch at La Cascade was good. Salads, trout, pasta and ice creams. We headed back down to catch the 3 pm bus back to Lourdes.
