| LARRAU
(LARRAINE in Basque - according to Orpustan, this indicates, an
area of heath for grazing, to be compared to a name with the same
etymology « La Rhune
») Nearly 250 inhabitants (Larraintar). The Larrau pass leads
into upper Navarra (nearest village : Ochagavia) and because of this
strategic position it was, like Sainte-Engrâce,
one of the "royal boroughs" of Soule. Church restored in 1655 and
chapel of the same period. Superb panaoramas of the Pyrenees. Nearby
assets include mountains (Pic
d'Orhy), forest (Iraty),
grottos, chasms, gorges (notably those of Holzarte)
and the GR10 hiking trail. |
