Stop atEspelette
We'll continue with a visit to Espelette, world-famous for its chili pepper used by chefs the world over. The village lies on the border between the provinces of Labourd and Basse Navarre. The boundary is not only historical, but also geological, as the landscape changes and we enter a mountainous area.

Stop atLe Pas de Roland
To finish on a high note, we reach the Pas de Roland, a pleasant surprise with its rocky defile and the tumult of the river La Nive running through it. The romantic landscape is the subject of many legends, but its name refers to a very real page of history in which Charlemagnes' nephew gave in to Basque warriors.
