Montagut : le Luy de France

  • Distance : 6.5km
  • Vertical rise : 100m

The circuit is a nature trail along the water and forests of the Soubestre... With its source near Limendous, north of Pau, the Luy de France crosses the territory for almost 20 km. Bordered by large areas of forest and farmland, it is one of the waterways managed in a way that respects the natural environment. Calm and tranquil in appearance, this watercourse can rise rapidly, spreading over plots of land during heavy rainfall upstream, and fall just as quickly downstream.
