There is nothing more amusing than being stopped by a herd of lazy cows while driving up  to the 'Col du Tourmalet' in the Pyrénées and having your car literally 'redecorated'. Happy memories! :)
Drive up the highest mountain pass road to the Col du Tourmalet in the Pyrénées... And you'll not only enjoy the 360 degree views at the top but also feel humbled by the experience, thinking about the Tour de France cyclists! :)
