Holidays in the French Pyrenees
• rugged mountain scenery
• family-run hotels offering delicious regional cuisine
• walking holidays and short breaks
Forming the frontier between France and Spain, the Pyrenees stretch all the way from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. The northernmost part of the chain is considerably greener, and the mountains rounder. Here, peaceful villages of whitewashed houses with red and green shutters nestle in the verdant valleys, and the Basque people, who speak their own language, are justly proud of their rich culture. This is a fantastic region for walking, which you can experience on a short break or a longer walking holiday.
