THE UNMISSABLES
There are eleven unmissable sites to be visited, some are world famous, some have a Spanish feel, whilst others are distinctly French. All ARE spectacular and all very different from each other, but they all have two things in common. The first is that they are all proud residents of the Pyrenees since the beginning of time. The second is that they are part of that elite group of international tourist destinations that "must be seen at least once in a lifetime". Each of the itineraries which are offered in the Road Book will take you to these wonderful places along the route. Enjoy.
