Wikipedia description:
Luz-Saint-Sauveur (French pronunciation: [lys sɛ̃ sovœʁ]; Gascon: Lus e Sent Sauvaire, before 1962: Luz) is a commune in the Hautes-Pyrénées department in the Occitania region of south-western France. It lies on the river Bastan, a tributary of the Gave de Pau. Its inhabitants are called Luzéens and Luzéennes in French. The town features locations of historical heritage such as the church of Saint-André, also known as "Les Templiers", the Château Sainte-Marie or the spa district. Protected by mountains to the east, west and south, and separated from the plain to the north by the Pierrefitte gorge, Luz-Saint-Sauveur is somewhat geographically isolated though it is only a 1⁄2 hour drive from Lourdes.
