Lacarre

Lacarre is a commune in the Cize valley of Lower Navarre, about 6 km from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. The Cize was one of the valleys (along with Baigorri, Osses, and Arberoa) that formed the first nucleus of the Navarrese grip on lands north of the Pyrenees. Pilgrims have traveled across Cize on their way to the mountain passes into Spain for a thousand years. The commune has monuments associated with the French pilgrim routes.
