A little 9-year-old boy escaped his grandfather’s vigilance as they returned from hiking in the Pyrenees. Léon was found safe and sound across the border in Spain.
It was after eight hours of anguish that Léon found his dad. They hugged each other. Nearly sixty men were mobilized to find the little boy. “I was lucky, I was found at sunset.” Léon’s mother was impressed by her little boy. The 4 January, the along the Spanish border, he and his grandfather hiked to the Col de laOuillat. This is where the child gets lost while running in the fog.
Léon had the right reflexes
Very quickly, significant resources were deployed. Léon is found thanks to his composure and the whistle hanging on his backpack. She is a resident of Requests (Spain) who takes him in while he is cold and tired. At 9 years old, Léon ran 10 kilometers. He had the good instinct to go down into the valley. He will remember this emotional day for a long time, in the heart of the Pyrenees.
