Day 45 Laruns to Ousse

We left quite late and had a lovely ride through beautiful countryside out of the high mountains, but with spectacular views back towards them.

It seems strange to be in France after all this time. Strange too how the character changed immediately after crossing the border.

France, certainly in this area has a more affluent appearance and is certainly neater and better kept.

Also, importantly, you can buy a croissant without sugar on it!

We didn't have to push ourselves today and in the heat of the afternoon have stopped at a small campsite in Ousse, near Pau.

Laruns to Ousse - 50km, 300m ascent.
