The small village of Saint-Palais is located at the crossroads of the three Basque provinces of Labourd, Basse Navarre and Soule. Former capital of Navarre, the village has managed to preserve its traditions and its authentic culture.

Located on the route of the Santiago de Compostela trail, as the statues and shell signs found in the town remind us, Navarrenx is a member of the association of the most beautiful villages in France. The town has a remarkable heritage. This medieval bastide has the particularity of being one of the first fortified cities in France. It has an austere and military side and presents classical style buildings.

A city that is one of the most beautiful villages in France!

The Gave d'Oloron is the meeting of the Gave d'Aspe and the Gave d'Ossau. A nice view especially when the sun goes down!

Superb view of the ruins on the transparent water.

A town on the Way of St. James that has retained its medieval flair. Down by the river you can relax well!

Saint-Palais was the capital of the Kingdom of Navarre until 1521, as evidenced by its rich cultural heritage. In the heart of the Pyrenees, this town is the starting point for the Great Crossing of the Basque Country by mountain bike.

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 in Ostabat, too, our small group of pilgrims is impressed by the beautiful atmosphere of the place. But we still have to move on the next morning... still the short way to Saint-Jean Pied-de-Port, and then - after crossing the Pyrenees - further on the "Camino Frances" through northern Spain to the tomb of the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia.
