We have an amazing week planned in the Pyrenees in July 2025. From 13-20 July, we'll be staying in lovely Bagneres de Luchon in a private chalet. The Tour de France will spend 2 days in the area that week, so not only will we get some fabulous rides in, but we'll also have a close up view of the riders as they battle uphill.
4 places still available!
