Aspe Valley and Somport Road Tunnel

Those with a long memory will remember our brief coverage of the plan to create a Trans European Network (TEN) road route through the Pyrenees south of Pau, France.

Members who have been there say the Aspe Valley in the French Pyrenees is a fantastic place. Though passed not visited, ‘La Goutte D’eau’ has for 15 years co-ordinated actions against the road project whilst residents live in a alternative way, growing organic food, running a bar, etc. They report that they are threatened with eviction from about 15 March, so people are needed urgently.
