The bridge is accessible from the V81 and allows you to cross over the Gave de Pau. Gave means "stream". It is 190.7 km long. Its most upstream source is located in the Cirque de Gavarnie. The large number of plastic waste present on the banks of the Gave represents one of the negative sides of the latter as well as of many rivers. Pay attention to your trash ;)
