Your legs will almost carry themselves today. There’s no climb to take your breath away, and no descent to tug at your knees. What you will notice is your head. Pine forest on the left, pine forest on the right, the paths dead straight. The Landes slowly empty your mind, in the best possible way.
It’s around 22 kilometres, which takes a good 5 hours of walking. A day for daydreaming, or for not thinking about anything at all. The scent of pine goes with you the whole way. Onesse-et-Laharie arrives without any grand entrance: a village in the middle of the forest, where your rucksack will be glad to come off. Boots off, legs stretched out. Take it easy, and you’ll still be enjoying yourself tomorrow.
