Landmarks
The place is famed primarily for the Cirque de Gavarnie, which is a glacial valley. The southern border is on the mountains, with Aragon, Spain.[4]
In the village of Gavarnie is a small church. The church, built around the 12th Century, lies on the Camino route. The church contains a cabinet which claims to hold the skulls of a number of the Knights Templar who died whilst traveling to Compostela. The church was an influential factor in the listing of the village of Gavarnie as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[4] The village is visited by those who ski and by HCPT Pilgrimages to Lourdes.
