Toulouse France Recommendations
I am putting together a cycling oriented vacation in the Toulouse, France general area. Part of the time will be spent about an hour drive north of Toulouse. Also planning to visit the Pyrenees region south of Toulouse. We are not planning to use a guide or touring service.
Ideally we will bring/ride our own bikes. Its been a long time since I have boxed a bike for international travel. On one trip I shipped ahead to my final destination. On another I boxed and checked the bike as baggage. I am comfortable with breaking down/building up process. I have never used a service like Bike Flights or similar. I wonder how it compares to shipping ahead or checking as baggage. Another possibility that could very well work for us is to rent. I have done some online research and there are options. I am looking for any Paceline suggestions on shops in this area that rent a good performance bike. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

For tourmalet rentals. Upstanding folks. I think they are closed on Sunday so be aware. If near TdF time reserve ahead.
You just hang a right out of the parking lot and start up! Enjoy! Tourmalet bikes 18 Place du 8 Mai, 65120 Luz-Saint-Sauveur, France VXFX+94 Luz-Saint-Sauveur, France tourmalet-bikes.com +33 6 28 52 41 47

Tourmalet is a fair way from Toulouse.
One place you could check out, about an hour south of Toulouse near Foix, is BedBreakfastBikePyrenees. Rentals, place to stay, shuttle, route suggestions - they're good for all that. Kevin and Bev are Brits, but have been there for a while. Lots of options and variety of rides.

Toulouse is a gorgeous city
and lots of it are really walkable. Don't miss a fine walk or bike day on the Canal Du Midi. No clue about bike shipping or renting.
