The Chemin du Piémont Pyrénéen (along the foothills of the Pyrenees) now stretches from thew Mediterranean coast of France to the Atlantic coast, and is GR 78. This topoguide covers most of that route, from Carcassonne to St-Jean-pied-de-Port, and then the GR65 to Roncevaux. Lourdes is a major attraction for some pilgrims. There are also 2 branching routes to the frontier : the GR653 (Arles route) from Oloron-Sainte-Marie to the Somport Passs ; and GR108 from Buzy to Gabas, continuing into Spain as GR 108A.
