Unfortunately, a railway cycle path would be much nicer as an alternative to the busy D8.

“La Ténarèze” was the prehistoric route which linked the Pyrenees to Bordeaux. It followed, at the crest, the watershed between the watersheds of the Garonne to the east and that of the Adour to the west, without ever crossing a ford or a bridge. Although it is no longer continuous, it can still be followed from the Col de Luquet to Labastide. It is largely tarmac, but there are still some nice gravel sections.
