I'm off to the Pyrenees in 2 weeks, flying to Lourdes. Does anyone know if you can get gas canisters in Lourdes?

Many thanks.

Thanks Phillip...though this is maybe not straightforward. From Lourdes I'm going to Gavarnie and starting to walk from there. (Incidentally are you familiar with the bus service from Lourdes to Gavarnie?)

Last year I saw some canisters at a small Gavarnie shop but if they've sold out - and it will be mid August in a major tourist spot - I'll really be stuck.

When waiting for the bus to Gavarnie, you can buy gaz in the

intersport shop in Luz saint saveur
