Can you recommend an English language route guide to the French Pyrenees (I have found several in French)

Answer

Country Walking magazine

By Country Walking magazine

There are a number of English-language guides to the Pyrenees, but few which concentrate solely on the French side. General interest volumes like the Rough Guide to the Pyrenees will give an overall feel of the region, while companies like Trailblazer produce a hiking specific one Trekking in the Pyrenees

It's also worth looking at particular routes; the Grand Randonee 10 runs coast to coast through the French Pyrenees and Cicerone produce an excellent guidebook - The GR10 Trail.

Cicerone also produce a superb book on both hiking and climbing, Walks and Climbs in the Pyrenees. Again, it's not specific to the French side, but offers a wide variety of outings. And check out their website - the entry for this book has a Further Reading section which includes a long list of useful books covering general and landscape information, plus walking, trekking and climbing guides.

The book Exploring the Pyrenees by Steve Cracknell is based around Steve’s walk along the complete length of the GR10 footpath, of the Pyrenean Way as it is known here. This is one of Europe’s great walks. The ‘Way’ starts of at Hendaye on the Atlantic coast and meanders over high mountains, through lush valleys and visits lots of memorable, small villages.

if hiking, why not get the more easily visual 'Trekking in the Pyrenees' published by Trailblazer. The maps of towns like Jaca and Pamplona are useful.

A book of this scope is needed and useful, but the format is not especially easy to use, and seems to be aimed more at hikers. Yet if hiking, why not get the more easily visual 'Trekking in the Pyrenees' published by Trailblazer. The maps of towns like Jaca and Pamplona are useful.
