Lescun (pronounced as /fr/[2]) is a village and a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France.[3]
It is at an elevation of approximately 900m (3,000feet) in a grand cirque.

Combined with the dramatic scenery of its mountain backdrop, this makes it a popular focus for hikers and climbers.[4] Several lakes and summits can for example be reached from Lescun, including the lake of Lhurs, the lake of Ansabère, the Billare, the Pic d'Anie, and the Grande Aiguille d'Ansabère.
