Oh, wow! What a great score for someone who didn't not the city before! Congrats! And glad you learnt about its existence, haha.

That's unironically one of the non-French cities where I go the most often.

Not my favourite place in the Pyrenees but I like it as well (and I actually go there every year, so...).

This was fun, although considering I've been there twice, 5 out of 10 is pretty poor. I'm unconvinced about calling the Pas de la Casa a city though... it's a bit like calling Nicolas Sarkozy a giant. A small village maybe!

That's a good score, well done!
