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.

With its three brightly lit dining rooms, he never sleeps on the land, favoring identity in the plate as well as in the atmosphere: Xamango Parmentier with truffled veal juice, Hake with Béarn corn bean mayonnaise, Hot Soufflé with Grand Marnier
