L'Ariégeoise

L'Ariégeoise is a cycling series held in Tarascon-sur-Ariège, within the French Pyrenees. Annually, it guides road cyclists and mountain bikers into the Ariège mountains, featuring routes designed for endurance, climbing, forest tracks, and open mountain riding, distinct from a flat city race. The race weekend includes an Expo Village where participants collect bibs on Friday and interact with cycling brands, bike shops, distributors, sponsors, and local tourism organizations. The village attracts approximately 7,000 cyclists, companions, and visitors each year. It hosts over 40 exhibitors across more than 1,000 square meters, alongside local products, leisure stands, music, and exhibitions related to cycling.
