Treat yourself
during your lunch break

After a morning of exploring, a quick lunch break is essential to regain your strength. Imagine yourself comfortably seated on a sunny terrace, savouring a crispy waffle or a fluffy crêpe, accompanied by a coffee or a smooth hot chocolate. Local eateries vie with each other in their ingenuity to offer dishes that will delight young and old alike. The growing number of food-trucks adds a touch of modernity and diversity to the culinary offering, with menus that change with the seasons and the chef’s whims.

The picnic,
another way to enjoy the region

For those who prefer the freedom of a meal in the great outdoors, a picnic is an ideal option. Local shopkeepers will have hampers filled with gourmet sandwiches, fresh fruit and sweet treats. Choose a quiet spot, perhaps beside a stream or on a sunny hillside, and let yourself be carried away by the beauty of the scenery as you enjoy your meal. This simple, authentic moment will recharge your batteries before you set off again to tackle the Pyrenean trails.

The comforting
break

After a busy day, there’s nothing like a sweet break to recharge your batteries. Here, snacking is a real ritual, where the flavours of yesteryear mingle with modern sweets. Waffles and crêpes, often topped with mountain honey or homemade jams, are a must, as are spiced hot chocolates to savour when the cooler weather sets in. The cafés and tearooms of the Haut-Garonne Pyrenees welcome you for these moments of relaxation, where indulgence is always the order of the day.

As you stroll through the picturesque streets of Luchon, Saint-Béat-Lez or Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, let yourself be tempted by these tasty breaks to brighten up your day. Each bite is an invitation to discover a little more of this region rich in tradition and flavour.
