GR®101
From Nogaro (Gers) to Saucède Pass (Hautes-Pyrénées)
Starting in Nogaro, the heart of Armagnac country, the trail stretches south through Gascony, offering landscapes of vineyards and medieval fortified towns (bastides) with well-preserved heritage. Crossing the Adour Valley, the terrain becomes slightly more pronounced, revealing fertile farmland dotted with centuries-old church steeples before entering Béarn, where the stone and slate architecture already hints at the mountains. Historically, this route is inextricably linked to pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela, serving as a connection between the Via Podiensis and the sanctuaries of Lourdes, a major spiritual stop on the journey. As it ventures deeper into the Hautes-Pyrénées, the plains give way to high-altitude pastures and beech forests.
