Gorgeous part of the world with stunning view and beautiful lakes - in some of the lakes you can see trout cruising around feeding on the surface - hiking is quite vertical but worth the effort- we had a 1000 foot gain in elevation on our hike- if you have mobility issues this might not be for you - the road up there is barely 1 lane in spots with lots of switchbacks but the views make it worth while - just go slow and let the locals and the aggressive drivers pass you.

The basilique was blessed on August 15, 1871 and consecrated in July 1876. The stained glass in the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception retrace the history of the Virgin Mary until the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX in 1854 and the Apparitions of Lourdes in 1858. This same Pie IX is represented on a medallion above the entrance of the Crypt. Surely worthwhile to visit

This pass is spectacular for the scary drive as well as the amazing views. No barriers in many places!!! Those cyclists have a lots of courage! We visited in mid-May and it still had remains of snow on the slopes. Plenty of cyclists, so be especially careful for them. It was freezing at the top!
10. Pic Du Midi

Pic du Midi in the Hautes-Pyrénées. An exceptional destination in high mountain for the holidays and the weekends: families, tourist groups, school outings, events and seminars of companies. All year long, access for all by cable car from La Mongie, at feet of the Col du Tourmalet. At the summit the most beautiful panorama of the Pyrenees, a museum on the astronomy and the history of the Pic du Midi, a Planetarium, a traditional restaurant of altitude. Mountain bike downhill. Panoramic webcams and weather conditions live

We saw this crazy place on Tour de France footage, and so made the effort to get there. We absolutely loved it. Everything we were hoping it would be!
