    Ultra lightweight backpack--worth it?

    Possible detour on Arles Route to Lourdes?

    Thanks. Will check it out. After the walk there we could bus back to Pau then walk through Lescar (we remember a wonderful Gîte there) to continue on the original route through to Puenta la Reina. Are there any other variations you could recommend? Anne.
