Gamarde-les-Bains walks

This section of the Adour Trail runs between Hinx and Préchacq-les-Bains. It can be walked in either direction as a round trip or as a one-way trip, in which case you will need two vehicles.

This is a pleasant route away from the major centres of activity, between cornfields and the banks of the Adour, where you can discover old gravel pits and a 23,400-panel, 11 MWc photovoltaic park floating on the expanse of water created when the gravel pits were abandoned.

This section of the Sentier de l'Adour between Candresse and Hinx can be done in both directions as a round trip or as a one-way trip. In this case, you will need two vehicles.

A pleasant route, mainly on secondary roads with beautiful sections on forest and farm tracks. Numerous views of the surrounding valleys and hillsides.

This family-friendly walk will take you along the banks of the Adour and its alluvial plain. ¹ The alluvial plains are vast floodplains frequented by herds of semi-wild horses. The area is rich in wildlife, including storks, egrets and grey herons. This walk follows the old towpath along the banks of the Adour and can also be done by mountain bike. It has recently been tarmacked from the start to Saubusse. As mentioned above, as the alluvial plains are floodplains, it is best not to walk there after heavy rain.

This short hike allows you to discover the three fountains of Sainte-Colombe from the Trinquet car park: the Huguenots fountain, then the Téoulé fountain and finally the Hounrède fountain. Please note: the trail is closed from 1 October to 30 November (hunting season).

A round trip on the south bank of the Bidouze from Guiche.

On a sunny plateau overlooking the Bidouze river, Arancou is a village with white walls and a remarkable architectural and human heritage. A historic stop on one of the hiking trails to Santiago de Compostela, the Via Turonensis, Arancou built its reputation around a hospital-priory that welcomed pilgrims from the 13thcentury onwards. There are also a few mansions, once dedicated to hospitality, whose architectural details can still be appreciated. In the village, the Church of Notre-Dame is also worth a visit for its style, which combines a long Romanesque plan with Gothic vaults and capitals. Along the trails, the surrounding hills promise fresh air in the forest, where you can see beautiful hundred-year-old oak trees, while the Bidouze valley offers peace and quiet and cool riverbanks.

The final climb is steady. Magnificent 360° view from the summit of the coast, the Landes plain, the mountains of the Basque Country, Béarn and, further to the left, on a clear day, the Hautes Pyrénées.
