This site tells you the story of the crossing of the Pyrenees, via the Haute Randonnée Pyrénéenne route, known as the HRP, such as Georges Véron described it in his works.

Don't think of these pages as simply another topological guide, nor as the story of a challenge. There is nothing to sell and no-one to promote.

Where there's a will, There's a way. Edward WHYMPER

Here is the simple story of two hikers who walked at their own pace, stopping as they wanted to, with a lot of autonomy. In 50 days, divided up over a three year period, Philippe and Yves covered the heights, in France, in Spain and in Andorra.

One fine day, on the beach at Hendaye, they collected several drops from the Atlantic Ocean, they carried them slowly, in order to pour them, a lot later on, onto the shores of the Mediterranean, at Banyuls.

In telling you their story and showing you their photos, the intention of these two lovers of the Pyrenees is simply to make other internauts dream, and awaken their desire to visit these mountains.

May many of you follow in their footsteps ...
