With the patronage of "John the Baptist," this parish has chosen a saint who is considered a forerunner of Jesus Christ. In Christian theology, he is the voice of one crying in the wilderness prophesied in the Old Testament book of Isaiah: "A voice calls out: 'In the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God!'" (Lutheran Bible). John is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who was visited by the Blessed Virgin Mary when she learned from the Archangel Gabriel that she herself would give birth to Jesus Christ, and her—until then childless—relative was still pregnant in old age. The feast day of Saint John the Baptist in the calendar of saints is June 24.

Charming village. Worth a visit

A really very beautiful and well-restored church 👍🏽 Well worth seeing 🤩

The view from le Pont-Vieux at Orthez. The bridge is closed to cars, and you can cycle over it.

Orthez is the former capital of the Bearn. The landmark is the bridge with its defense tower from the 13th century

Due to the connection to the Way of St. James, a good infrastructure for hiking.

A city with a larger history of pilgrimage, where a big festival with "bloodless" bullfighting is celebrated on a weekend in July. T-shirt, red scarves and beret just like in Pamplona!

Once again we have reached a milestone on the "Via Podiensis", our pilgrimage route to St. James (Chemin de Saint Jacques) through France; and here too, in the village of Navarrenx, our small group of pilgrims is charmed by the beautiful atmosphere of the place. But we still have to move on the next morning ... still the (comparatively short) way to Saint-Jean Pied-de-Port, and then - after crossing the Pyrenees - further on the "Camino Frances" through the north of Spain to the Tomb of the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia.
