"(Coming from Iholdy). From Bayonne southeast on the D932 until Cambo-les-Bains. Then follow the D918 in the direction of Louhossoa, then the D119. 2.5km before Hélette, a road leads right in the direction of the Mont Baygoura where, in the schists and screes, there is garnet, andalusite, and small staurolites." [Belot, 1978]
