Stage
Larceveau → Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port
Ease of walking: Moderate with steady climbs into the town and cobbled streets; the final ascent can be steep for tired legs.
The final stage brings pilgrims to the iconic Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, the last stop before the Pyrenees crossing into Spain. The town's citadel, gates and steep cobbled streets are both historic and practical for preparations to cross the mountain pass.
Scenery
Rolling foothills give way to the rising Pyrenees, with village orchards and steep-sided streets approaching the citadel.
