Op dit deel van de GR 65 banen wandelaars en pelgrims zich een weg door het platteland van Béarn. Het is nog ver van de Pyreneeën, maar het is een gelegenheid om de kleine dorpjes van de Béarn te ontdekken, in een landschap dat gevormd wordt door landbouw en veeteelt.

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.
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.
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.
It's certainly the most mythical route, but once you've had a taste of it, it's hard to resist.
