GR®78 Piemont way
From Béziers (Herault) to Oihantzarre Pass (Pyrenees-Atlantiques)
|
|
The journey begins along the tranquil curves of the Canal du Midi, before climbing towards the medieval city of Carcassonne and the colorful fortified towns of Ariège, such as Mirepoix. Geographically, the trail meanders between the hills of the Razès and the first slopes of the Pyrenees, offering a constant view of the mountain range. The built heritage is exceptional: from the Abbey of Saint-Papoul to the sanctuaries of Lourdes, each stop resonates with centuries-old devotion. Crossing the Bigorre region towards Bagnères-de-Bigorre, the beech and fir forests shelter a rich mountain fauna, including the capercaillie and the Pyrenean chamois in the higher elevations. The flora, influenced by Mediterranean and Atlantic climates, ranges from fragrant garrigue scrubland to high-altitude meadows dotted with Pyrenean lilies. This route ends at the Oihantzarre pass, gateway to Spain, after crossing Béarn and the Basque Country.
