BARONIES TOWER

Heart of the Pyrenees

High altitude point on this circuit, nothing but pretty bumps that attack the hot muscles at the risk of breaking your legs! After the Col des Palomières and its 360° view, we follow a treacherous road which takes its time to help us discover the Baronnies, one of the most secret regions of the Pyrenees. The main straight lines are non-existent, each bend, each small bump reveals an unexpected village here, a landscape to paint or take a photo of, there a river to dip your feet in.
