    The Col de Marie-Blanque is an emblematic passage of the Tour de France which peaks at 1,035 meters above sea level. Its ascent from Louvie-Juzon is 15 kilometers long for an average of 4.1% with passages at 8.5%. Marie-Blanque marks the border between the beautiful valleys of Ossau and Aspe. In the middle of the climb, the pretty Bénou plateau offers a portion of respite in a remarkable setting.
