You leave Morlaàs with its Romanesque church at your back. The houses thin out and the streets grow narrower. Then come the fields, the edges of the woods and the long country lanes.

This day asks little of your legs. There is hardly any climbing, and almost everything slopes gently downhill. It is still around 19 kilometres, though, so your feet will notice by the end. The rhythm is steady, with few surprises and plenty of space to simply walk and look around. At the end of the day you arrive in Lescar, an old episcopal town with a Romanesque cathedral. Take your time. This stage does its work without you having to push yourself.

Tips for this stage

  • It is almost all downhill, so take short steps and spare your knees.
  • In Morlaàs, pack enough food and water for the whole day.
  • You finish early enough to have time for the cathedral in Lescar.
