Pyrénées Orientales with my wife and my CB1100

[Mika74_imp]

Hello
A ride for november the 11 with a very good weather from Ax-les-Thermes where I live to Col de Puymorens (see other post for the view) and Carol Valley with old towers, citadel of Mont-Louis (Vauban style est 1679) still occupied by the army (national commando training center), with in the civilian part an good restaurant….after few kilometers the Bouillouse lake (artificial for hydro electricity production) at about 2050 m asl, return at night by col de Pailheres. Very good ride with extra mountain roads of about 170 km.
Because of limitation at 14 photos/message I began with Carol valley and Mont-Louis… the following if you want later…
