A memorial hike along the path to freedom: walk in the footsteps of refugees who fled France during the Second World War to reach Spain.
This educational trail pays tribute to the men and women who, during the Second World War, risked their lives to cross the Pyrenees and escape Nazi barbarism. This 4 km loop, marked by 12 information panels, follows in the footsteps of a group of resistance fighters who, one night in October 1943, guided by smugglers, set out to reach Spain via Bausen and the Burat Pass.
This route has been awarded the Tourisme & Handicap label for all four types of disability (hearing, mental, motor and visual).
The route is accessible on foot, by wheelchair or by car: 1.8 km long, including 1.2 km of tarmac road and 600 m of track suitable for vehicles.
1 - Park your vehicle at Place des Évadés (526 m) with the memorial to those who escaped from France to Spain.
2 - From this point, stay on the small tarmac road to discover the numbered signs recounting the passage from France to Spain during the Second World War.
3 - After signpost no. 7, you will find the GR86 trail branching off to the right towards the Soueste chapel. Continue along the road to reach the Pont des Mines bridge (600 m). You will enter the Burat-Palarquère forest.
4 - Follow the forest track. At the next junction, ""Ougarrol"" (650 m), follow the track on the left.
5 - The last two signs indicate the end of the route. You will arrive at the picnic area (with tables and barbecue facilities).
6 - Return by the same route to the Pont des Mines bridge.
7 - Turn right and follow the road alongside the clay pigeon shooting range on your right. After a short climb, you will reach the Saint-Martin chapel (580 m).
