France – A Summer Walk in the Pyrenees Mountains National Park – 40 photos.

The Pyrenees National Park., the oldest of France’s national parks, was established in 1967. It extends for more than 100 km from east to west. It includes six high valleys that border Spain, and has an exceptional biodiversity.

Le Pont d’Espagne, with the Gaube lake higher up, is among the most prized sites of the Pyrenees National Park.

During a short walk on the level, you will see the lake appear in all the splendour of its crystalline waters. On its bank is the old hostelry where travellers stopped in the 19th century.

These photos are amazing and so beautiful! As a “typical” American, I only really know France by it’s winery field photos and photos of cities like Paris and Nice. I had no idea the variety of beauty there!
