Hills in every shade of green, white farmhouses with red or green shutters, sheep on the slopes. That’s how the last day of the Via Turonensis begins, and that’s how it carries on. The path climbs and descends, but nowhere is it really steep. At around 20 kilometres and almost 6 hours of walking, this is an easy stage.
At Ostabat several French routes come together, so the road gets busier. After all those days on a quiet path, it may take a little getting used to. The Pyrenees come closer and closer. You walk into Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port through the old town gate. This is where this route ends and the Camino Francés begins. You arrive in good time to decide at your leisure whether to stay the night or walk on tomorrow.
