Mauléon-Licharre

Highlight • Other

Authentic Basque village, Mauléon-Licharre is considered the capital of the espadrille. It is also that of the small province of the Basque Country, Soule. The heights of its old town are separated from the lower town by the course of the Season. We find in this part the castle of Andurain de Maytie.

Sainte-Engrâce Dam and Lake

Highlight • Lake

Built downstream of the Kakuetta gorges, this hydroelectric dam has formed a magnificent turquoise blue water retention.
If you stop there, and if you are not afraid of heights, you can go to the footbridge which faces the dam and overlooks the slope with the river which then continues its course at the bottom of the fault.

Culminating at 1,540 meters above sea level, the Soudet pass is one of the first to be encountered from the Atlantic coast. The various climbs that lead to it are relatively long and maintain low average percentages despite a few passages around 10%.
