How to get to Oloron Ste. Marie from Le Puy route

[sharleen]

Hi ! Wondering if anyone know if it is possible to walk to Oloron Ste. Marie to continue on the Aragones Route from the Le Puy route.... of course, there are probably roads, but is there an actual path and from what town would I detour off to Oloron Ste Marie? Anyone know of more details? Maps, distances that connect these 2 routes? Thank you!

Sharleen, I'm sure there are many ways to get to Oloron Ste Marie - here is one I used recently. There are daily buses (about half an hour journey) from Aire sur L'Adour to Pau, and a train service from Pau to Oloron Ste Marie. The camino Aragones is lovely - highly recommended

the routes are <20km apart around Pau, so I would just devise my own route, say from Fichous-Riumayou (there's a good Occitan name) south.

The links on the page Carli gave seem to all be broken

another possibility further back is to use the GRP Coeur de Gascogne to leave the GR65 at Lectoure and join the GR653 at Auch. There is a topoguide for this http://www.ffrandonnee.fr/topos/topoGui ... x?ref=D032 tho it hardly seems worth it for the 30-40km concerned.
