Bearn

Arrive in Pau, a city covered with luxurious parks, villas and spectacular golf courses.  Be captivated by the fantastic flora of Beaumont park and the castle grounds, take a walk on the Boulevard des Pyrenees, sip a French café...relax and take in the views.

Throw on a beret!

Each village and city plays host to their proper festivities…making each festival unique! Be enticed by the local colour, dance and culture.

Take a scenic country drive…stop through Navarrenx and Sauveterre de Bearn, visit historical sites, walk through donjons, chateaux and noble houses…reminders of the affluent epoch of Henri IV, Febus and the Three Musketeers…

The Bearn hides many treasures…

Take part in a living tradition where the art of the cuisine is a matter of cultural pride. Try the specialities foie gras, confits, duck and the piperade…sample the fine wines of Jurancon and Madiran.

The Bearn is home to anglo-arabs, the ‘other Monaco' car racing competitions, salmon fishing championships and the Tour de France.

Check out the rapids for white water thrills…or for a bit of serenity, treat yourself to the spas of Salies-de-Bearn.
