Maubourguet › Abère

🗺️ Stage Map

📖 Stage Description

The stage follows the banks of the Adour across the Bigorre plain, a landscape of damp meadows and poplar groves. The river is wide and powerful here, fed by the waters of Pyrenean torrents. The mountains draw closer with every hour of walking.

Abère is a modest hamlet in the Hautes-Pyrénées, but ideally placed for an overnight stop before tackling Pau. The region produces maize in abundance — polenta and cruchade are local specialities inherited from Spanish influences. A short, flat stage that allows you to savour the anticipation of arriving in Pau, a royal city with an exceptional historical heritage.
