B. Tout-y-Croît Castle

In 1566, the Queen of Navarre Jeanne d'Albret donated this estate, house, barn and land to M. de Casaux, her doctor. She made it "the Noble House of Tout-y-Croît". She had wanted to make this property an example for Béarn, which is poorer than Navarre. Having grown up at the court of France and of her uncle François I, Jeanne d'Albret was an enlightened queen who intended to bring to her kingdom the best techniques, in particular in the breeding of cattle and the cultivation of vines: the Jurançon being exported to England. The queen, admiring this beautiful domain, would have said, when she saw a little violet, "But everything grows there on this earth" (tout-y-croît). This private property has kept its agricultural vocation.
