4 September

After an overnight stop in Mont-de-Marsan our journey south today took us via the pretty medieval towns of Orthez and Navarrenx.

Linda on the Navarrenx Bridge

From there we followed the river Gave D'Oloron to the shabby chic town of Oloron-Sainte-Marie at the confluence of Gave D'Ossau and Gave D'Aspe.

Typical vernacular architecture of Oloron-Sainte-Marie

Our campsite for the night was a free Motorhome Aire conveniently situated by the river within easy walking distance into the centre town via the river bank. Thanks again to Satman Sean for telling us about this camper stop (N43.184029, W0.608780).

Our campsite is just to the right of the bridge

We are situated in the foothills of the Pyrenees in readiness for tomorrow's adventure over the mountain range and south of the border into Spain.
