Visitor Reviews of Cauterets
Derek from United Kingdom writes:
Yep, Cauterets is a small resort, mainly for families who are beginners/intermediates. It's very French, and is popular with the French themselves, rather than the Brits. Despite that, we've been twice and always found everyone to be very friendly. There are also some nice little bars and restaurants, ranging from a Pizza takeaway, to some places with seriously good cuisine. There's also a great market where you can buy local cheese, bread and wine, as well as gourmet takeaway to microwave back at your apartment. Quite inexpensive, and easy to reach from Pau, Lourdes, Toulouse and even Carcassonne airports. We love it.
