Here is an aesthetic loop to escape. Quietness guaranteed in forests of various species. What a pleasure to cross these countryside with its remarkable traditional architecture.

Discover the many fountains of Moncaup. This walk, steeped in history, takes you through the woods of Moncaup with its typical species, crossing meadows and vineyards. Its undulating and shaded relief offers very contrasting views and atmospheres.

If the landscapes covered by this stage show a certain continuity, combining agricultural valleys and wooded hills, this section of the Way of Arles is half Bigourdan, half Bearn, since it leaves the department of Hautes-Pyrénées to enter that of Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The entry in Béarn is marked by a beautiful point of view on the chain of the Pyrenees.

No doubt we are in the heart of the Madiran vineyards! With this loop around the castle of Crouseilles, we would take a few moments to take the castleman around the property! Vines as far as the eye can see, a superb castle and a grain of sport are the ingredients of this walk.

Situated on the borders of Bearn, facing Armagnac and Bigorre, Lembeye occupies a strategic position on a branch of the road to Compostela. To resist the inevitable incursions of its neighbours, the village was built as a bastide towards the end of the 13th century. After becoming Protestant in the 16th century, Lembeye was devastated during the Wars of Religion and burnt down by Catholic troops at the beginning of the 17th century, which led to the reconstruction of most of the houses in the village. A circuit of about 2 km will lead you to discover the bastide. You will discover the Place Marcadieu with its 18th century houses, the Clock Tower, the Hautes Promenades path with its view of the Pyrenees mountain range, the gothic style church and its flamboyant style portal..

Aesthetic and varied, this tour follows a countryside that inspires tranquility. The tour of the lakes and the shaded areas are very pleasant. To be practiced all year round without moderation!

It is a journey back in time that this walk from Lembeye evokes. From 1904 to 1931, the Vic-Bilh was crossed by the steam railway line, also known as the "tram line", which linked Pau to Lembeye. Along this path, you will discover several structures (bridges, waterfalls, stone embankments...) that bear witness to this passage.

Sports lovers will love this circuit! It has some difficult climbs in store, but also some magnificent sections such as the Tram line or the descent of the bridge heading. As for the panoramas over the Pyrenees, they are simply exceptional!

What could be more sensational than discovering the Madiran vineyards on small country roads? This hilly course crosses plains and shaded hills. It crosses typical villages and crosses beautiful castles and churches. Gastronomy and the sweetness of life permeate this loop!
