Any suggestion on a possible start from Orthez?

Hi everyone, in order to get a bit in shape before crossing the Pyrenees in SJPDP, I'm thinking about starting my camino in Orthez, with stops in Sauveterre, Saint-Palais, Ostabat before SJPDP. Any of you has any suggestions, tips, places to stay, or avoid? I was hoping to take it easy on the first few days by doing about 10km, but there doesn't seem to be anything in between Orthez and Sauveterre, which would be 21 km for my very first day. (Please note I'm also planning on stopping in Orisson after SJPDP, to avoid walking all the way to Roncesvalles.) Any tip would be appreciated, thanks!
