[Ditcha]

Looking for any suggestions for a stopover between Somport tunnel and Pau.

There is a large parking area before the tunnel..
Used to stop over with the kids during the day, cant see there being any issue with doing an overnight if needed. No facilities.

All Spanish side of the border routes are lovely, however I am not fond of the roads on the French side where there are heavy trucks and winding corners.

Dont try the aire at Orleon. Very tight entrance and sometimes cars will park making it almost impossible.

Agree.

On the French side of the som port there are dozens of well off road picnic areas you can use. I've used most of them.
