View of the Gave d'Oloron at Sunset

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Gave d'Oloron is the meeting of the Gave d'Aspe and the Gave d'Ossau. A nice view especially when the sun goes down!

Pont de la Légende and Monréal Tower, Sauveterre-de-Béarn

Highlight • Bridge

Sauveterre is a “Castral Rescue”. From its origin in the 11th century, the city has been a place of refuge, it welcomes and protects the population by placing it under the direct protection of the viscount.

It was not until the reign of two great viscounts of Béarn (Gaston VII Moncade and Gaston Fébus) in the 13th and 14th centuries to see the city counted among the four main boroughs of Béarn. The pilgrims of Compostela from the year 1000 will also participate in the enrichment of this city on the way to Vézelay.

Located at the gates of Béarn, the city is endowed with impressive ramparts and defensive sites. Bridge, Tour Monréal, church, arsenal…, for the most part built on a rocky pile. Who would dare to blame Sauveterre?

It was in the 16th century that this beautiful story came to an end. Attacks by the Spaniards and wars of religion got the better of the city despite its impressive ramparts and thus ended Sauveterre's strategic role at the gates of Béarn.
