Departing from the town hall, this varied itinerary is steeped in history. First you'll see the Château de Navailles, whose keep was one of the defensive elements of the Viscounty of Béarn. Further on, you'll pass along the Chemin Chrestiaa, the Chemin des Cagots, whose history remains largely mysterious to this day. Finally, on the whole of the outward journey, you'll be following a very old path linking Navailles to Saint Armou, which has just been reopened for the sole pleasure of hikers.
Itinerary

  • Step 1 :

    From the town hall, take the main road (RD 206) north towards the school. After 200 metres, when the road turns left, take the street slightly to the right that goes downhill and passes behind the school. Follow it and after 200 metres, turn right onto the small road that slopes gently downhill. It turns right.

  • Step 2 :

    100 metres after this bend, take a metal gate on the left which leads to a sunken path that descends towards the stream. Take a footbridge, then follow the stream upstream. 50 m after the footbridge, turn left onto a path lined with hedges that climbs up the hillside. It becomes steep and leads to a wider path, which you take to the left. Continue climbing gently along a comfortable path that leads to a small road at the top of the hill.

  • Step 3 :

    Turn left and continue for approximately 700 metres. At the first junction, turn left.

  • Step 4 :

    The track then descends towards Balaing, which you cross via a bridge.

  • Step 5 :

    At the end of the poplar grove, take the track on the left which climbs gently up to the outskirts of the village of Navailles.

  • Step 6 :

    At the end of this climb, turn left onto a narrow road that quickly runs alongside a hedge. 200 metres after this hedge, turn right onto the small road that leads back up to the village.
