Lovely walk through the forest and along the riverbank. Half of the route is on roads, but there is no traffic. Only 500 metres are on the main road, which was quiet on that day.

A very beautiful walk in the countryside, passing through nature, hamlets, paths and small roads... The weather was fine and there was very little traffic on the roads, so everything would have been perfect if...
We hadn't come across a 50kg hound who didn't seem happy to see us!
He lunged at us after a 30-metre run, trying to grab a hand as he went, but not really attacking... It scared the life out of me, so I had time to watch it go by! In the end, she was just a fat young girl bursting with energy... But what recklessness in her 2-legged, totally irresponsible!

A very beautiful and pleasant parish-specific to Brittany walk with good signposting (C D Landes hiking trail).
Some areas are a little damp (suitable footwear recommended depending on the time of year).

Very nice hike. I did it with my dog. Lots of places where the dog could get wet. Once you've walked along a road for about 200 metres, the rest of the trails are nice. You could reverse the route, and the end would be greener. Nice view of the Pyrenees and the Adour.

The highlight of the show: the storks. At this time of year, they are paired up and their nests are already built.
They are obviously near the alluvial plain, and the path is wet and muddy. Be sure to wear good shoes.

The rest of the walk is pleasant and easy: you walk on stony or gravel paths.

Halfway along the route is the St-Etienne d'Orthe wash house, which is a convenient place to stop for a snack.
