The Pau-Bordeaux journey connects the Béarnaise Pyrenees to the world wine capital. The A65, opened in 2010, dramatically cut travel time (2h15 versus 3h30 on the old road) but remains France's most expensive motorway per kilometre — €22 toll for 150 km. This high cost makes a shared taxi particularly competitive against individual cars. The journey crosses varied landscapes: Béarn hills, the Chalosse (foie gras, Armagnac), then the immense Landes de Gascogne forest (Western Europe's largest forest, 1 million hectares of maritime pine), before emerging into the Bordeaux vineyards.

A65 tolls total approximately €22 — France's most expensive motorway per km. Journey takes 2h15 normally.
