Days 4-6 Argeles-Gazost

while Neil was riding up Col de Tourmalet I enjoyed a mini van ride to the top through picturesque countryside. At La Mongie the gondola ride took me to 2800 metres to look out over the steeply pitched mountains with snow covered caps. 

Will add photos once we get wifi working.

Argeles-Gazost is a beautiful alpine village in the Pyrenees. It was much warmer here than I expected, getting to 32 deg most days with rain some afternoons which only cooled down marginally. 

Pretty tree lined avenue

The walk up to Centre Ville from our hotel

Centre Ville town square

This church was beautiful inside too with large chandeliers as you would expect for a French church. 

The photo doesn't do this justice but I was amazed by the steep pitch of the roof at the end. Argeles-Gazost would look beautiful in winter when it snows

And of course the patisseries are amazing!!
