France - Saint Jean Pied de Port: The city
The first place we stayed in the Pyrenees, was at Pension Maison Donamaria in the town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. We had five nights. The town lies in the Basque region of the Pyrenees. Here are soft green mountains and extremely clean and orderly. We love the house and the city.

Pyrenees and Northern Spain Tour
This tour by IMTBike combines the Perfect Pyrenees Tour with another week of riding along the verdant northern coast of Spain. Youll be amazed by the lush green backdrop as you visit the Basque Country, Cantabria, and Asturias, and then loop back towards the regal city of Burgos, Pamplona, the thermal spa of Caldes de Bohi, and to Barcelona. The riding is incredible! The culture and traditions and fascinating! The hotels are top-notch! This tour is a favorite with couples.

2010-05-10-Pyrenees tour-A
During our Pyrenees trip 2010 we had a tour from Montory through St. Jean Pied le Port, St. Etienne de Baigorry, Espelette, Ainhoa, Biarritz, Hasparren, Saint Palais, Mauleon, Oloron and back to the hotel in Montory. We had a beatiful day and we were riding with all 6 bikers at that time. On our way back I (Robert) started to video tape the group behind me. We were changing speed as it fitted the group and the situation. I have split the whole movie into 3 sections A, B and C. A funny part is shown in the last section when we arrived with good speed at a scene where 2 French policemen (flics) blocked the road and I still had the camera on. I thought they had lasered our speed and now we would have to pay. And I was worried that the camera was still running. But they just showed us another direction because the road ahead of us was blocked. I left this scene in the video because I think it is funny.

Cathar roads, Gorge De Galamus, Pyrenees, France, Europe
The Cathar Country is a tourist term used by the department of Aude, which is the department at the center of the country where the lords and the people had converted to Catharism. This term concentrates on Corbières, sits of the majority of royal citadels improperly qualified some of Cathar castles. The promoters of this term tend to impose this tourist slogan instead of words, the more justified historically and culturally (Catharism did not leave a religious legacy in the South, the Southwest and the Southeast of France, because that religion disappeared after 1307, after evangelistic missions undertaken by the Preachers). The people of Occitania and specifically the Languedoc, with Occitan, are mostly from Catholic families who have no roots Cathars, but there is still a few families of the Aude, the Hérault and Gard, who are descendants of these good men and good women.
Cathar Country is a registered trademark in 19911, owned by the General Council of the Aude. The Cathar program wants to value and preserve the wealth of the Aude, federate local initiatives and support the professional organization of Aude producers. From hotels to restaurants through the cottages, rooms and guest tables, wine cellars, shops, gourmet products, lamb, pork, beef, poultry, honey, milk, bread , arts and crafts ... a whole range of products and services certified.
