1) Crossing the Pyrenees

Impossible to go on holiday in the South-West without making a detour to the Pyrenees . There are indeed several routes to be able to take full advantage of these incredible mountains , and especially for all levels . Often, when we think of mountains, we tend to believe that the difficulty is necessarily very high. However, it is possible to find routes that allow you to enjoy the landscapes without getting too tired .

2) The Bordeaux wine route

When we think of the South-West region, we inevitably think of the good wines of Bordeaux . It is indeed a must, which can very well be done by bike. As it is a rather special route, you can turn to an agency specializing in cycling trips which will therefore find you the perfect paths so as not to miss anything. Be careful, however, not to do too many tastings so that you can then ride your bike serenely.
