De Arzacq-Arraziguet à Pomps
Description
On this section of the GR 65, walkers and pilgrims make their way through the Béarn countryside. It's still a long way from the Pyrenees, but it's an opportunity to discover the small villages of the Béarn region, in a landscape shaped by agriculture and livestock farming.

Starting point
Steps
Louvigny Mill
Take the small street alongside the Crédit Agricole (1, 233 m). Further down on the left, a sign indicates the distance remaining to Saint-Jacques: 910 km! Further down, the path comes to a lake, which you go round to the right, crossing over the dyke. The path then goes around a house, through a wood and then a cornfield before reaching a small road that you should follow to the right. Continue straight ahead. The road becomes a track, passing by a farm and descending through fields and woods until you cross a bridge to reach the Moulin de Louvigny.
Uzan
Cross a road and follow the red and white markings and signs for Saint-Jacques. The route is almost flat, with very little traffic, as far as the bridge over the Luy-de-Béarn. Climb back up, then turn right at the fork, and then follow the route d'Uzan to the right. You will soon reach the church of Sainte-Quitterie and then the village of Uzan.
Points of interest
The Bearnaise house
The Béarnaise house is built using grey river pebbles in mortar. One of the essential features of the Béarnaise house is its roof: the pitch can be 50° or more, covered with flat tiles or, more frequently, slates. In Béarn, the houses vary according to the valleys and geographical areas.
the GR 65
It's certainly the most mythical route, but once you've had a taste of it, it's hard to resist.
