Steps

Departure - Church car park

Go along the church on the left, then pass in front of the town hall and go down 100m. Turn right and take the grassy path that goes up along the Béarn style house. At the end of the path, turn left and continue on the road until the junction (electric rammer).

Les Pindats

Turn left on the "Chemin de Prim". In the first right turn, leave the road and go straight on the path in the undergrowth. Go down until you find the road and turn left. Continue on the road to the fork and go down to the right. At the end of the descent turn right and follow the direction "Les Pindats". Continue up the road to the fork.

Notre-Dame de Piétat

Turn left into the Chemin de l'Ossau. Stay on this hilly road that goes up and down until you reach Notre-Dame de Pietat at the top of the second climb. (Tip: Make a detour to this monument to enjoy the panorama it offers). Continue straight and go down to the junction with the D24.

Back to the car park

Turn left then immediately take the dirt road on the left between the field and the spruce hedge. At the end of the descent take the small path on the right which runs along the fields. Return to the asphalted path and descend to the recycling center. Turn right and take Chemin Pehourticq. Stay on this road which goes up between fields and houses. The last meters of the slope are very steep. At the top turn left and find the parking lot.

Points of interest

Saint-Orens church

The Saint-Orens church of Bosdarros dates from the 14th century. From the outside, the two Gothic porches (listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments) give the building a form of round and peaceful majesty. The interior reveals a rather Romanesque style, with the semicircular arches of the naves. The choir contrasts nicely with the sobriety and warmth of the stone walls.

Notre-Dame de Piétat

Located on the heights of Pardies-Piétat, the Notre-Dame de Piétat sanctuary offers a breathtaking view of the Pyrenees chain and the Pays de Nay. Its 19th century chapel was built on the site of an apparition of the Virgin, instead of an older chapel destroyed during the Wars of Religion. It has been a place of pilgrimage since its foundation in the 17th century.

View of the Pyrenees

Just before the "P'tit Tour" equestrian centre, located just below the chemin de Prim, and before you venture through the undergrowth to continue your journey, you can enjoy a very beautiful panorama of the Béarn peaks and bigourdans neighbors throughout the ride.
