| "Towards the end of the 12th century the Count of Toulouse undertook to build a castenau- a city protected by a castle on a hill. From a strategic as well as an economic viewpoint, it was an instant success." |

| View down the valley to the east - spectacular! |
A good day's walk, despite the heat and some testing climbs and slippery descents. We are feeling strong and confident without injury or ailments - hallelujah! We have just reached the halfway point to St Jean Pied de Port, which will be the end of the second stage of our walk in France.
