Christine’s guidebook to Les Cerisiers
Sightseeing
A beautiful small town in the mountains. Go up past Cauterêts and visit Pont D'Espagne. You pay 7 euros for parking then walk or take the cable car up. Again you pay. It really is worth the contribution for this beautifully kept place. There are a couple of wonderful restaurants, one near the top of the cable car and one further up at the Lac de Gaube. In summer it can be busy so get up early and enjoy the cooler air for your climb.

A great day out with a walk to Europe's highest waterfall. Restaurant half way. You can stay along the bottom path, which offers spectacular views in itself, or take a path from the start that takes you up higher - you need to be fit for that one!
In summer, there can be theatre showings. Check availability.
