Almost every year the Tour de France spends a night in Pau, it is the third most visited city in the history of the Tour. Sometimes having a rest day in the area. There is a good airport in Pau, one of the main options for flying into the Pyrenees, together with Biarritz, and Toulouse. If you are lucky enough to watch the Tour de France in the Pyrenees, chances are you will be visiting this area. Today as part of Tour Travel series I will be offering cycling maps to some recommended rides in the area.
I love this area of the Pyrenees mountains. The foothills offers fantastic riding along with the big named climbs. Within a short distance of Pau, you have a number of climbs available for enjoyment.
