Bossòst
A riverside village on the Garonne, close to the French border, where the 12th-century Romanesque Church of the Assumption ranks among the best-preserved Romanesque churches in the Aran Valley.
Bossòst sits at the lower end of the Aran Valley, about 16 km from Vielha and 5 km from the French border. The Church of the Assumption in the village centre dates from the 12th century. Its three-aisled layout, north portal carvings and bell tower are well preserved, making it a highlight of Romanesque architecture in the valley. Shops line the riverside street, and French visitors often cross the border to shop here. Nearby, Aran Park offers wildlife viewing, and a mountain road leads to Portilhon for views.
