VAE N°26 - Sur les traces de Fébus
Following in the footsteps of the illustrious Prince of the Pyrenees and beyond the sunny slopes, here you have a route that does not have great difficulties and that can be an opportunity to combine a bike tour with a fun swim in "Aquabéarn".
In the time of Fébus, the illustrious Prince of the Pyrenees, the only saddle available was equipped with four legs and loaded with oats. Centuries have passed and the materials have evolved. However, the pleasure is still total to cross, from Oloron, the sunny slopes that offer an incomparable view of the Pyrenees chain. The 15-mile gallop ride on a two-wheeler is particularly harmonious. Crossing along the Auronce valley, where the “Blonde d’Aquitaine” (typical Béarnaise cow) occupies the vast plots where you can walk. The route is not difficult and can be an opportunity to combine a bike tour with a fun swim in "Aquabéarn". On the way back, once past the picturesque town of Estialescq, a stop at the honey house is essential before reaching Oloron. As you cross the city you pass in front of the Lindt chocolate shop... it could be the occasion for one last stop!
