Overview
Join us in the French Pyrenees mountains to experience the perfect blend of hiking and biking through the picturesque countryside.
Starting with a panoramic view at lunch in Castillon-en-Couserans, we get a peek at the hills we will be traversing. Pedal along the Voie Verte from Foix to Saint Girons and explore the Couserans on foot. Delve into history with a hike by the Maquis Memorial in Puivert and a visit to Puivert Chateau, followed by a delightful wine tasting. We continue our biking adventure along the Voie Verte from Chalabre to Mirepoix before immersing ourselves in the troubadour heritage at the Troubadour Museum. Depart with cherished memories and a renewed sense of adventure after a week of scenic landscapes, cultural discoveries, and outdoor exploration.

We will be in some rural areas, and there are shops and cafés that only take cash, so it is important to have euros with you when you travel. Generally speaking, €300 - €500 should be fine for the tour, but you can plan your cash amount based on your personal spending plans while you travel. We have found it simplest to purchase euros from your bank prior to traveling to Europe. Another option is retrieving cash from an ATM at the airport when you arrive in France, which gives you the best exchange rate on that day. Tip: Make sure you are aware of your bank’s fees for international withdrawals, as well as other credit card usage fees.
