Agen (Lot et Garonne) to Pau (Pyrenees)

    Day 13 takes riders from Agen, on the Garonne river, through the heart of Gascony, and as far as Pau, the capital of the Pyrenees Atlantiques department. It is a generally flat route across the Gascony countryside, with its gently rolling hills and fields of corn and sunflowers. The day's route goes through the vineyards of the Armagnac, the production area for "Côtes de Gascogne", the most exported French white wine. Later on in the day, the route goes through the smaller Madiran wine growing area, famous for its reds and its unforgettably named Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh, a late-harvested aperitif wine.

From the Garonne to the Pyrenees

Stage 13, on  Friday 12th July 2024, sees the Tour de France in the historic region of Gascony.

   Gascony is not a region, it was never even a clearly-defined territory in old France ; but the name Gascony has long been attached to a large area of the southwest of France, stretching from the river Garonne to the Pyrenees.
