:We've transferred to the Alps but it's worth finishing off Luz St-Sauveur first. I took a walk around where we were staying on the last evening in town and captured some of the ambience.
After six hot days in the Pyrenees, the cloud from the mountains came down into town. It became cool and misty and perfect for a few photos.

Back to the border
My last climb in Luz St-Sauveur, and probably my last until Roth* was up to Gavarnie, near the Spanish border.
You guessed it, it was all uphill, but it was worth it. It was a beautiful little town!

La Petite Maison, Luz St Sauveur
A day off the bike today (the green gunk is back with a vengeance) so I thought I'd show you a little of the 'little house' that's our home for a week on Luz St-Saveur - La Petite Maison.
The maison dates back to 1824, and although I couldn't find any written history on it, there are some telltale signs built in.

Is this a safari or a cycling trip?
Luz Ardiden isn't one of the best known of the tour climbs, but if you ask me it's a hidden gem - certainly it's not an easy climb but it's up there on beauty.
Having said that, I chose it for this morning's ride mainly because KKB rode up there yesterday and said he saw marmottes. I've been a bit obsessed with these little creatures since our last trip and that was enough to make it my first choice of rides for this leg of the trip.
