The Tour de France in the Pyrenees
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 only difficulty is that the Tour in the mountains 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, and for the latest information follow this link to the official site for the Tour de France tour (in French and English). |
