Pyrenees accommodation and driving routes to not miss?

[WakeFlakes]

Hi all,

I’m going into France for the Le Man Classic this year and then afterwards was planning to head down to the Pyrenees drive around the mountain roads.

Looking for a place to stay for around 3 to 4 nights whilst exploring the area, before heading back up to Caen to catch the ferry back home.

Any recommendations for places to stay (which secure parking for 2 cars), roads and must see bits whilst there would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply!

I ended up booking an Airbnb in Bagnères-de-Luchon. Which looks to be on the other side, but looks to be quite a nice hero with good access into the mountains!

Wow that looks like quite a route! I’ve saved it on Google maps so will 100% give it a go!

Thanks for the suggestions! Really looking forward to the trip and have downloaded the bike app!

Hi again,

I’ve planned a route back from an attraction (Grotte de Niaux) to our accommodation. The roads look like they have the potential to be fun from google maps but obviously never driven them or in the area.

Are D roads in the Pyrenees largely okay roads? Or would it be best to just stick to the google maps roads which whilst higher mileage are way shorter in time. Going in the McLaren so preference would be to not plan a route along dirt tracks!
