イドー・メンディのおすすめツーリングルート

Also easy to cycle here

Magical place, one of my favorite French villages

Ultreia! The pilgrim must go through here. Very atmospheric old town and this gate by the river behind which the church portal welcomes the pilgrim is old and venerable.

A great old fortress to explore with fabulous views towards the mountains

Water break in the most gorgeous mountain town. Found much needed rest here after very long day on the bike

Beautiful village which exudes Basque soul with its pediment next to the church. Note, a very cool fountain on one of the town squares which can save your day before facing the port of Larrau or the Bagargi. There is also another small fountain with a tap in the stone wall along the main road.

An authentic Basque village, Mauléon-Licharre is considered the capital of espadrille. It is also that of the small province of the Basque Country, Soule. The heights of its old town are separated from the lower town by the course of the Saison. In this part we find the Andurain de Maytie castle.

The town of Larrau is located on a mountainside with views over the two separating valleys. If you need water, there is a beautiful fountain with water inside the town. It is worth stopping to get water before facing the 11 km that remain to the port of Larrau.
