The
French have the
advantage of being
able to choose between
two major mountain
regions to go cycling
in without leaving the
country. (Maybe that's
why they also deserve
more than twice as
much vacation compared
to us). The mountain
region, that is
usually put in second
place is "The
Pyrenees". They are
further south, and
with that they tend to
be greener and more
pastoral. They are
also a more linear
range, rather than the
complex maze that
makes up the alps.
Many of the roads and
villages are more
islolated than further
north, and the climbs
are shorter but on the
French side, often
infamously steep. The
Spanish side often is
more remote, gentler
and more heavily
forested than the
French side.
