Right on the border of Andorra and France, on the French side, there is a train station. A train station and a couple of houses in the valley. The bus stops there to drop people off. The train stops there to pick people up. That is probably all that ever happens here.

Luckily the train station has a ticket office. And it's manned. The only sign of local life. And, except for a small number of confused travelers, the only sign of life at all. There are no signs of habitable houses. What does one do to deserve a position here? The "Dances With Wolves" for the railroad company employees.

This little station could pass by unnoticeable if the train didn't slow down. It's in the center of Europe, but yet so isolated. The place probably doesn’t even have a name. What is French for ”In The Middle Of Nowhere”…?
