This route is designed to be educational, with each kilometre punctuated by a message about respect, difference, tolerance and secularism, making it an educational trail to share with children. Throughout the hike, there are designated rest areas (don't forget your picnic), views of the Pyrenees mountain range, and a pleasant loop to enjoy with family or friends.

The path you are about to take linked the bastide of Pavie to the hamlet of Besmaux, which was only a modest seigneury until François de Monlezun, like other Gascons, left to seek his fortune in Paris.
