Description

This circuit guides you on the traces of the Benedictine monks. The bastide of Larreule was created at the end of the XIIIth century by the Benedictine monks, at the foot of the Abbey dating from the Xth century. It is one of the 3 most important abbeys of Bearn. The circuit also serves, on either side of the banks of the Uzan and Luy de Béarn rivers, two other communes: Uzan and Mazerolles, ancient bastides also founded by the Benedictines of Larreule.
