We had a very classy breakfast at the AirBnB, said our farewells our hosts, and headed off to look round the cathedral. Outside, we found statues and childrens' games commemorating the "Three Musketeers", d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, Inside, there was a splendid and moving "stations of the cross" exhibition, painted by Pablo Lameyre. As we left the town, we were regaled by various colourful murals, as well as a novel use for old tractors. Then cross-country to the 13th century fortified town of Laressingle, one of the smallest town surrounded by ramparts. At the site of an old roman bridge, a sign informed us that the rivers of Gascony form a St.James shell shape! From there it was onwards to Montréal, and a friendly bunch of pilgrims at the hostel there.
