To finish on a high note, we reach the Pas de Roland, a pleasant surprise with its rocky defile and the tumult of the river La Nive running through it. The romantic landscape is the subject of many legends, but its name refers to a very real page of history in which Charlemagnes' nephew gave in to Basque warriors.
