Pyrenees Trip - Airport, Direction, and other tips

[vaud]

Bergerac gets you quite a long way to the destination and is also a nice city for a night. Some flights might reopen as there are loads of expats.

Any opinion on whether it's better to drive the Pyrenees westward or eastward?

If you decided to fly into Bergerac,Buggs car rental have MX5s for rent.

Planning to land in Barcelona. Honestly the car rental situation is horrible now, prices are insane.

From Barcelona havd a look at the C-16 road through Berga and then the N260 westbound to Sort, then the C13 to C28. For me Andorra was not worth the traffic nor the sights.

Just checked, that is pretty much my route (not sure if by chance of if this recommendation was already somewhere). Thanks!

Just updating after the trip..again thanks for all the comments and tips. The route was basically Barcelona->San Sebastian while across the Pyrenees. The route taken was somewhat of a criss-cross of the Spanish-French border, mainly taken from some motorcycle trip website I can't remember at the moment..and of course some of the suggestions here. Amazing roads. Weather was nearly perfect, very little traffic most of the time.
The way back was along the N-240 and N-260, which are a great way to get back to Barcelona if you're not in a hurry. Great roads that offer a bit (or a lot) of everything.
