LUZ-SAINT-SAUVEUR 2– City of lights in the mountains

From Luz-Saint-Sauveur, the Pyrenees Mountains are all yours; all the nicest sites of the region are easily reachable. You will find there the pleasure to inhale, to move, to keep cool, to transcend yourself, to enjoy Life! The great writer Victor HUGO was describing it like a “Charming old city deliciously standing in a deep triangular valley. Three large rays of day reach there through the three recesses of the three mountains. When the “miquelets” (Catalan militia men) and the Spanish smugglers were arriving from Aragon through Roland’s Breach, they were suddenly glimpsing at the end of the dark gorge a great clarity, like what the door of a cellar is to whom is inside it. They hastened and found out this large borough, sunlit and alive. This borough, they called it Light, Luz.” The municipality started up a big rehabilitation project of its local heritage, and it will organise 2 international workcamp this year.
