VTC 1 Entre plaine et gave

From the commune of Arros de Nay, a village in the Pays de Nay, this cycling circuit takes you around the villages on the left bank of the Gave. Going through fields, you come across a small building, which nowadays is largely abandoned. Barns with walls made of pebbles and slate roofs sheltered cattle on the ground floor and the fodder upstairs. People used to store tools but also temporarily some crops in shacks made of wood and sheet metal adjacent to croplands. The canal network supplied water to irrigate these rich agricultural lands and to power a large number of mills. The Arroundade road linked different villages going through the fields. It was also a path for pilgrims going to the sanctuary of Piétat.
