Jean-Jacques Abdallah, sculptor
Bestiary and sculptures with clean lines
Upon arrival at the chalet, you'll notice the stone bear pointing its snout towards the chalet, perched atop an imposing rock where the spring flows. This is our little bear "Jean," the mascot and symbol of Chalet La Source.
Carved from Lourdes stone, it is signed by a renowned artist from the region, Jean-Jacques Abdallah.
As a lover of the Pyrenees, its fauna and flora, his sculptures are largely inspired by the animal world , characterized by simple, geometric lines that "come out of the stone".
Jean-Jacques notably created the Saint Martin of Gaillagos , the ram and bull of Arras-en-Lavedan , and the eagle of Cauterets on the Demontzey trail.
Jean-Jacques also sculpts abstract figures and , and many other creations on commission.
Don't hesitate to go and meet Jean-Jacques in his workshop in Arras-en-Lavedan (30 minutes from Cauterets).
