Starting to plan a trip to France for Summer 2025.
What are your favorite multi-pitch in the 6b and below grade in the Pyrenees and the Alps (I know, those are vast areas) ?
If you have references to guidebooks (in French is OK) that would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Ailefroide is really nice 

Cascade Blue (or Bleu, can't remember) and Riviére Kwai are two nice routes there, but there are many, many more. 

I believe Briançon Climbs is the guidebook... 

Have fun!

Pyrenees French-Spanish border. This one is a classic trac route with spectacular views:

1. Ravier (V+) Esparrets spur in Monte Perdido
