The commune of Bazas has a project to restore this trail which offers a gateway into town. It is a popular route into the town for local residents, but it is now difficult for people with reduced mobility to use. It is also part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, used by tourists who come to explore the city and its famous cathedral.
