More than a just a valley, a country…
Listen, you will hear the most beautiful stories of the Pyrenees, the sound of waterfalls and babbling brooks, the peaceful silence of mountain lakes, the songs of local women and men, their customs, shaped by their adventures on the pastures, something that brings them together, the sweet lull of the healing thermal waters …

The voice of this small country resonates everywhere and it sings of its land and its history!

Luz and its hilltop villages will also show you the simple pleasures of life in the mountains: from the unique flavours of the local produce, its authentic hosts and its warm welcome to the sweetness of the sun’s rays which illuminate Luz and bathe its peaks in sunlight.

Toy? What does it mean?

TOY, means “small” in Gascon, and it was a sobriquet, formerly used to describe the small inhabitants of these high Pyrenean valleys.
