Day 36 – Aire-sur-l’Adour to Miramont-Sensacq

An early start brought us 300-feet up and out of Aire-sur-l’Adour where we caught the last glimmer of sunrise.

Église Sainte-Quitterie.

The remainder of our day led us along farm roads bordering never-ending fields of corn. That was the extent of our scenery.

  • Not the most scenic day today.
  • Some fields had been harvested.
  • We finally saw how it was done.
  • And the end result.

Day 37 – Miramont-Sensacq to Arzacq-Arraziguet

Prior to leaving, our host took our photo in front of her home (circa 1742) where she and her husband host travelers from around the world. A comfortable blend of old and new, we enjoyed a large, renovated bedroom with bath, a home cooked dinner and breakfast with coffee in a mug. So much tastier than from a teacup.

Monday morning, October 9.
La Prade Hotel in Miramont-Sensacq.
A walk through cornfields, a quick look behind and then we were back on the trail.

Fields of corn continued to crop up, but on a much smaller scale. Forested landscapes, pasture land, churches and herds of cattle returned, lifting our spirits.

  • Gorgeous views returned.
  • And so did curious cows.
  • A newly planted vineyard in the distance.
  • The shaded path tunneled through trees.
  • A stop for a cold drink, a snack and a view of where the trail was headed.
  • Harvesting corn.
  • The puzzling case of shoes without feet.

Tomorrow (October 10) we begin our last week…just 7 walking days left before we’re due to reach our goal of Saint-Jean-Pied-du-Port.

      Thanks Frank. We’re huffing and puffing our way to the end. This has been much harder and much hotter than we expected. But beautiful and very rural.
