Il est constitué d'un alignement de gros blocs de pierres plates dans le lit de la Bidouze, en la barrant sur une trentaine de mètres.

History
This ford, possible link of the Via Podiensis, would have been a passage for pilgrims to Compostelle coming by the old road from Mauléon to reach Saint-Palais. It consists of an alignment of large flat stone blocks in the bed of the Bidouze, barring it over approximately thirty metres.
