Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pyrenees: A Description of Summer Life at French Watering Places
The valleys by which the northern side of the Pyrenees is approached, are generally from 25 to 30 miles long, running nearly parallel to each other in a southerly direction, and each terminating in a 'cul de sac,' which necessitates a tiresome return journey for those who cannot cross into the next valley by the higher passes, on foot, or on horseback.
In these valleys there is generally a river (or Gave,' as it is called in the language of the country), first a little rivulet or a leaping waterfall, then a roaring cata fact, or a wide and turbulent stream, according to the formation of the valley through which it forces its way to the sea.
