The landscape is open and green. Fields, cornfields and scattered farms follow one another, with gentle hills where you barely notice you’re climbing. You walk mostly along country lanes and field paths, with a wide horizon and plenty of sky above you.
It’s about 18 kilometres and should take you around 5 hours. A light day, then, when your thoughts can wander wherever they like. Maubourguet lies on the Adour. You walk into the town, find a terrace and put your rucksack down. Your legs say thank you.
