My return taxi arrangement had to be OKed by the Japanese gal who'd already reserved it. She lived in Paris and had brought her visiting mom to visit the cirque. We soon all got along well and traded travel tips. Our return route passed the historic hotel in Gedre village, a distinctive building with a great view of the famed Breche de Roland mountain gap. The latter very visible gap is the main Pyrenees hiking trail between France and Spain. We also passed a bungee jump plus Napoleon's bridge.
