    Julien is a fantastic guide... Don't hesitate if you are passing through the region. Personally, I came from the Loire on purpose to discover this walk and... What joy... I can't wait to do it again!

    Julien is a passionate and fascinating guide! He knew how to pace the 9km ride and thus captivate young and old alike. His stories, historical, fantastic or enigmatic, transport us to a time when many things happened but without taboo, allowing each of us to identify in our quest for answers. The chosen illustrations, the stopping places, the attachment of this guide to its history and that of its Basque country won us over. The cave at the end is sublime. We had a great time! Children too, keeping their heads full of memories and a pretty pendant in memory of this witches' walk! THANK YOU Julien
