La voie verte de Bayonne à Ustaritz en écomobilité

On an old towpath, a gentle walk along the Nive, the emblematic river of Basse-Navarre and Labourd. Without ever straying from its banks, you will walk along flooded meadows and shady groves, joining two picturesque villages upstream from Bayonne, Vi

It is on an old towpath on the left bank of the Nive, emblematic river of Basse-Navarre and Labourd, that this green way guides you today. Some families of tanners or farmers had formerly elected residence on the banks of the river, the majority preferring the heights to move away from the risks of floods of this tributary of the Adour, under influence of the tides until Villefranque. We go up a landscape of barthes (flooded meadows) dedicated to agriculture, and we will allow ourselves shady and contemplative pauses on the river, its birds and its oars, or a refreshing stop at the guinguette of the bridge of Villefranque.



How to get there

Leave the center of Bayonne (signposted "Bayonne-cathédrale") and head south along the fortifications of the city center. Between Tour de Sault and Pont du Génie, follow the signs for "Lauga" and "La Floride" to the right. Keep to the latter until you reach the sports complex and La Floride parking lot, on the banks of the Nive river.
