The tour de France usually has two or three Pyrenean mountain stages, and as you can see on the map above, at least one of these is normally within easy travelling distance from us. The map shows in green the routes (and dates) of the parts of Tour de France stages that pass close to us and to give you an idea of the scale it takes about an hour to travel from us to Toulouse. The only difficulty watching the Tour in the mountains is that it is incredibly popular, and in order to watch the start or finish you will need to be in position very early. We usually pick a point somewhere along the route, and arrive half an hour or so before the Tour is due to pass. Official details for the next tourThe full details of the tour are published each year in January (sometimes earlier), and for the latest information follow this link to the official site for the Tour de France (in French and English).
