Long shot. Anyone cycled Biarritz- Perpignan please?

A route similar to this one:

A classic coast to coast voyage using a network of quiet back lanes
and canal tow paths. Our 530km (330mile) route links picturesque
villages, medieval cities, ancient forests, vineyards and fields of
sunflowers as we head slowly east through this historic land.

That would be a nice gentle route - much more exciting via the Hautes
Pyrénées which I note they also do...
The Cité at Carcassonne is stunning.

I'd do it alone in August, but follow a similar route and allow two
weeks which should allow time for a detour down through Lourdes and
over the Col Du Tourmalet 19 years after I did it the first time.

I've done some of it, though mostly I went over the great cols of the
Pyrenees.

There's no need to book through a tour company. Simply strap a tent
and sleeping bag to your rear rack.
