A temperate climate all year round

With temperatures that are never excessive - either in summer or in winter - and the good old-fashioned downpours in spring that give the countryside its incomparable green colour, life is good all year round in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

In autumn, when the southerly wind blows the bluish mountains are suddenly inundated by the flight of woodpigeon, and appear to be within arm’s reach.
