EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled at the foot of the majestic Pic de Peguere in the Hautes-Pyrenees department of south-western France lies the picturesque spa town of Cauterets. Established since Roman times for its mineral-rich waters, Cauterets has been a popular health resort since the 19th century. The town's reputation as a spa destination attracted the European elite, including the British royal family, who sought refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life. During the winter months, Cauterets transforms into a bustling ski resort, attracting visitors from around the world. The snow-capped Pic de Peguere, standing proudly at 2,316 meters (7,595 feet), serves as a breathtaking backdrop to the ski runs and winter activities. The Pyrenees Mountains, of which Pic de Peguere is a part, have a rich history and are home to diverse flora and fauna. Designated as a National Park in 1967, the Pyrenees offer opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and wildlife spotting. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the timeless beauty of Cauterets and the majesty of Pic de Peguere. The image showcases the rolling hills and foothills that surround the mountain, providing a stunning contrast to the rugged peaks. The serene atmosphere of the town and the awe-inspiring mountain range continue to draw visitors from around the world, making Cauterets a must-visit destination for those seeking relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty.
