Tasting berlingots
You simply can’t visit Cauterets without trying the famous berlingot, the resort’s iconic sweet. Available in a range of colours and flavours, it forms part of the local culinary heritage and is appreciated as much for its sweet taste as for its history, which is linked to the town’s spa traditions.
