Loudenvielle

Loudenvielle sits at approximately 1,000 meters elevation in the Louron Valley, surrounded by Pyrenean peaks and featuring traditional stone architecture characteristic of mountain villages in southwestern France.

The commune was officially formed on January 1, 2016, through the merger with neighboring Armenteule, expanding its territorial boundaries and administrative scope within the arrondissement of Bagnères-de-Bigorre.

The Arixo cultural center houses a cinematographic museum in a restored farm building, showcasing regional heritage through collections of religious art, traditional crafts, and ancestral knowledge of the Pyrenean valley.

The Balnéa thermal spa complex offers sulfur spring treatments and aquatic facilities, while Lake Génos-Loudenvielle provides recreational activities including kayaking, fishing, and pedal boats at 1,000 meters altitude.

Loudenvielle served as a finish location for Stage 15 of the 2007 Tour de France, originally won by Alexander Vinokourov before his disqualification led to Kim Kirchen receiving the victory.
