Walk taken in early August 2023
Numerous broken trees obstruct the path, forcing us to change the route slightly

On a summer Sunday morning, you'll encounter many walkers, cyclists and joggers, with or without dogs. It's a pleasant walk, and the banks of the Adour are lively with dragonflies, fish and birds, and not too many mosquitoes. The path is clear from start to finish and the picnic area near the car park is a great place to rest before setting off again. I have fond memories of this hike.
