Very close to Vielha, we visited the Church of Sant Martí de Gausach, located in the municipality of Vielha and Medio Arán. It is the parish church of the town, in the Gothic style and with some Romanesque elements.

This Romanesque-style building —in Aranès, Mare de Diu deth Rosèr d'Aubèrt— is located in the municipality of Aubert, in Vielha. Although it was built around the 12th century, it has undergone several renovations over the years. The most representative is the octagonal bell tower.

This bridge crosses the Garonne River as it passes through Escunhau. The Garonne is the only river that originates in the Pyrenees and flows into the Atlantic. The Nere River joins in Vielha. When it reaches Toulouse, the Garonne becomes a larger river.
