REASONS TO DISCOVER PYRENEES
The Pyrenees has the most legendary climbs of the Tour de France, introduced to the tour in 1910, Tourmalet, Aspin, Peyresourdre but also Aubisque are famous climbs that you will be able to challenge on our cycling tour.
The view from the Pic du Midi is breathtaking, with a height of 2876 meters, it is the highest observatory in Europe. Starry Evenings are planned at the Pic du Midi only a few dates throughout the year, astonomy activities are programmed during these special nights.
Discover the beauty of the French Pyrenees by visiting the Pyrenees Natural Park with its amazing landscapes, preserved fauna and flora spread on 100km. There are six valleys, each of them having their own personality:
In the Pyrenees, there are many natural thermal spas allowing relaxing activities in a unique environment. For example, Aquensis in Bagneres-de-Bigorre offers a ‘Donkey’s Milk’ bath as Cleopatra used to like, where you can experience the benefits of donkey’s milk in a private spa bath.
Lourdes has become a symbolic place and a major place of pilgrimage and is said to make miraculous spectacular healings. The Virgin Mary is supposed to have appeared to Bernadette Soubirous numerous times in Lourdes in 1858 which created the belief of a sacred place. Every season, many tourists and pilgrims come to Lourdes, they can be as many as 5,000,000 this is why Lourdes is the city with the second-biggest number of hotels, right behind Paris.
Toulouse is a city located in southern France and is called « la ville rose » (the pink city) due to the color of its buildings. It has two UNESCO World Heritage sites which are the Canal Du Midi and the Basilica of St. Sernin because of its link to the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route. Toulouse offers a great diversity of activities, as in museums like the Contemporary Art Museum which delivers works by many reknowned artists, or monuments dating from the Golden Age of the pastel trade. Be sure not to miss the Capitole with its rich history and culture during your visit.
The Midi-Pyrenees region is made of 8 departments: Ariège, Aveyron, Haute-Garonne, Gers, Lot, Hautes-Pyrénées, Tarn and Tarn-et-Garonne. Located in the southwest of France, the Pyrenees are a great skiing spot during winter and cover a large number of thermal resorts and their mountains form a natural border between Spain and France. They are also well known as having legendary climbs of the Tour de France like Col d’Aubisque, Tourmalet and Col d’Aspin.
The Pyrenees are composed of a chain of mountains forming a natural border between Spain and France. It is said that its name comes from mythology and particularly from « Pyrene », the virgin daughter of Bebryx who was taken advantage of by Hercules. After giving birth to a snake, she ran off to the woods in fear of her father’s reaction. Hercules who was gone on one of his Labors, found her and in sadness and remorse of what he had done, laid her corpse on the mountains demanding them to join him in his grief and preserve her name throughout ages. The Pyrenees gather both fauna and flora treasures, they also possess remains of prehistorical age and a lot of cultural heritage.
You can also find your Provence bike tour, your Switzerland guided tour or your United Kingdom bike tour.
EXCELLENT Based on 235 reviews Robert M2025-01-02Verified Croatia Bike Tour = Amazing This is the second time we have used Discover France for a vacation in Europe, both trips were 10/10. This time was a little more special as this was part of our honeymoon! We booked the shorter Croatia trip through the Istrian peninsula and it did not disappoint.Our tour consultant, Solene, was amazing! She took care of everything and answered any questions we had throughout the process. She also made sure all the hotels knew that it was our honeymoon so we had a couple extra surprises waiting for us when we checked in at each hotel.We also needed several transfers to and from the airport which Solene was happy to help with. It made the trip so much less stressful when you are able to book everything through the same service.The bike tour itself was so much fun. The recommendations (sites to see, restaurants, cafes, etc) provided by Discover France were spot on. The locals were so friendly (and most spoke English which helped!). The food was delicious especially being in a wine and truffle region. We would 100% do this trip again!Thank you Solene and Discover France! Justin T2024-11-26Verified 5th time (and lifelong) return customer Hands down the best adventure organization I’ve ever worked with abroad. This will be my 5th time returning to the TdF in 2025 with Discover France. Gabriel and the reservation team do everything they can to make your trip exactly as you hope. If there’s something they can or cannot do they work with you all the way. It’s a very one-on-one, professional and reassuring process for reservations abroad. The programs are incredibly memorable, with exclusive VIP access that exceeds any other TdF organizations. Their focus is the riding, course, and to make sure your experience on a bike is as good as it can possibly be. Other programs offer different bells and whistles to their TdF packages but absolutely nothing is as exclusive, personalized, and uniquely small-group as Discover France programs. You do not need to be an expert rider for the programs. But experience and at least comfort on a bike is needed. The rides can also be tailored on a daily (or even hourly) basis to the rider/group skill, weather, overall energy level that day, and your personal preferences. Support vehicle with special French credentials allows for Discover France to provide a van with you the entire trip. Sun, clouds, rain, sleet/snow (yes…it’s the Pyrenees or Alps), hot and cold: there is always a vehicle that can help you along the way and offer a place to bring along your gear like the professionals. Shout out to: Florentin and Titouan for spectacular rides and support expertise. Finally, Thomas and Aurelian are two of the most dedicated cycling enthusiasts and leaders of a one-of-kind organization. Their dedication and leadership is evident from the top down as all of the guides and employees seem to love their works as much as they do. Kevin P2024-11-24Verified Puglia in October This is the second year in a row that our group of friends have chosen Discover France. This time to Puglia. And again, the experience was fantastic. It starts with our tour consultant, Gabriel, who is responsive and truly cares that we have a great holiday. This year, we requested a one-day diversion off the usual route and the Discover France team mapped a great route for us. We also appreciate how the bikes are in good shape and all is well organized for our arrival. The route was generally on bike paths or tertiary roads and relatively flat - a well designed route for sure. joel w2024-10-27Verified Costa Brava Spain This is our 4th bike trip with Discover France, and they never seize to amaze us. We have been working with Solene, and she is remarkably professional, responsive, and most importantly, she listens to our "wish list" of preferences, and makes suggestions with that in mind. All our trips have been in France, with this one in Costa Brava. We loved biking in this region of Spain. Most of the biking was on gravel trails, and kept us off the roads. The scenery was beautiful, particularly the small coastal towns. The itinerary was well planned and we enjoyed the 2 night stays in each village, in lieu of moving nightly. I would recommend this route. I will be reaching back out to Solene to book our next trip. She is wonderful and I wouldn't consider using another bike tour company. Safe biking..... Alisha Stephen C2024-10-16Verified Loire Valley success. My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience doing the Loire Valley ride from Amboise to Chenhuette. Gabriel and team Discover France were very always responsive and available to help us. The routes were well thought out. Once you master the App, they are very easy to follow. The hotels were amazing and the staff at each one had a good relationship with DF. The bikes were amazing - Moustache Dimanche 28.4. They made this trip the success that it was. Rob W2024-10-08Verified Puglia Bike Just finished a bike trip to Puglia. Gabriel did an awesome job! Great hotels, bikes, routes and destination advice. We would highly recommend having Gabriel at Discover France plan your routes. My brother and sister have also used Gabriel and were extremely happy as well Don Y2024-10-04Verified Cotswolds This was the 4th trip using Discover France and each time has been amazing. This trip was to the Cotswolds in the UK. The organization of the trip (specifically Gabriel service) was outstanding. The hotels were all great and scenery was beautiful. We had one day of heavy rain but that added to the allure and challenge of the rides. Thanks to all at Discover France and of course Gabriel. Robert M2024-10-01Verified Loire Valley Classic - Great trip! Our first trip with Discover France but I hope not our last. Tatiana put together a great itinerary for our self-guided trip. The hotels were lovely, clean and biker-friendly, with most in former chateaux themselves. The bikes (2 regular, 1 e-bike) were in great condition and well-equipped, and the orientation session was very thorough. Luggage service worked as promised. Discover France did a good job minimizing our time on busy roads - almost all the trip was on bike paths or roads with little vehicular traffic. No complaints from us! JB-in-SB2024-09-26Verified Bordeaux-Dordogne: The best trip yet! Our third trip with Discover France, from Bordeaux to Sarlat in the Dordogne, was the best one yet. Loved the countryside, the food, the hotels, everything. For the first time I rode a pedal-assist bike, and it was a game-changer for me now that I'm in my sixties -- no more worrying at night about climbs I might be facing the following day.! My husband stuck to the standard touring bike and it worked out well for both of us. Working with Gabriel was a breeze. Thanks, Discover France -- we'll be back! Janet G2024-09-25Verified Loire Valley Classic: An Incredible Tour One of the most visually compelling bike tours we’ve done in Europe. All the major chateaux in the Loire Valley are located along the route, which is largely comprised of bike trails and/or little-trafficked country lanes. The local food and wines are exceptional. Discover France is a first-class operation; we’ve worked with them before, and will again on our next visit to France. Their entire team is great; extra kudos to our tour consultant, Solene Graino.
