possibility for leisure:
Explore Lac de Puydrarrieux (nature reserve for migratory birds, especially cranes) by foot, or observe rare birds (nightingales, hoopoes, golden orioles, bee-eaters) and amphibians. A tennis court, riding facilities, and a small village pool are not far away. You may wish to enjoy the region from above (sport airport with sightseeing flights and para-gliding in Castelnau-Magnoac, just 10 minutes away by car). There are many village festivals during the summer at which you can enjoy southern French flair on the weekends. A number of castles, grottos (Grottes de Medous, Grottes de Betharram, Gouffre d`Esparros, Grottes prehistorique de Gargas), and historic diggings await you.
the departement 'Hautes Pyrénées':
The local markets are in the nearby towns and villages are also well worth seeing. Most of the nearby Pyrenees' famous sights are just an hour's drive away. These include Pic de Midi, Pont d`Espangne, Cirque de Gavarnie and many more. Take the children to 'Donjon des Aigles' to observe eagles, or to 'Parc Animalier des Pyrénées' to see bears and marmots. How about white water rafting in the Pyrenees, rock climbing, or paragliding? Enjoy day trips to the unpopulated, wild, romantic Spanish Pyrenees, where you can visit the Ordessa National Park. We recommend bringing your own vehicle or renting one at the airport in Toulouse.
