I arrived in Toulouse, down to Carcassone, then west following the Pyrenees on the French side until into the Basque area, where we went into Spain for a few days, then up the Atlantic coast and then to Bordeaux. I then biked alone from Bordeaux back to Toulouse for the loop and the flight back home.
