从天而降的魔法 Magic fallen from the sky

Roland's Breach in the Pyrenees

This is the kind of image in front of which one cannot help but emit a "wow" of wonder. We are in front of the Roland's Breach, located on the periphery of the Cirque de Gavarnie, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, and behind which flow the billions of stars of the Milky Way. Very popular with hikers, this gap is a natural hole, 40 meters wide and 70 meters deep. Located at an altitude of 2807 meters, it plays the role of a mountain pass which marks the border between Spain and France on all its width.

According to the legend, the breach was created by Roland, Charlemagne's nephew, while he was trying to destroy his sword by hitting it against the rock.

The Cirque de Gavarnie is one of the most impressive sites in the French Pyrenees and was even listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

比利牛斯山脉的罗兰豁口

这是一种让人忍不住发出“哇”一声惊叹的图像。我们就在罗兰豁口的前面，位于上皮雷内的加瓦尼圆环的边缘，银河系的数十亿颗恒星就在这一缺豁口的后面。非常受徒步旅行者欢迎，这个豁口是一个天然的洞，宽40米，深70米。它位于海拔2807米处，起着山口的作用，在整个宽度上标志着西班牙和法国之间的边界。

根据传说，这个豁口是查理曼大帝的侄子罗兰（Roland）创造的，当时他正试图用剑撞击岩石来摧毁他的剑。

加瓦尼马戏团是法国比利牛斯山脉最令人印象深刻的景点之一，1997年甚至被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。
