Description

This pleasant walk, marked out with interpretation desks, allows you to discover the main historical monuments of the medieval town of Orthez: the Hôtel de la Lune, the Pont Vieux, the Maison Jeanne d'Albret, the Church of Saint Pierre, the Château Moncade. In the Middle Ages, Béarn was at the heart of all the events that marked this period: the pilgrimage, the crusades, the creation of bastides... And Orthez is the capital! The Béarnaise dynasty of the Foix Béarn family (Fébus) dreamed then of a free country going from Orthez to Foix. Later it was Jeanne d'Albret, mother of Henri IV, who gave Béarn Calvinism as the state religion. This walk also offers a variety of bucolic atmospheres: the banks of the Gave, the Moncade vineyard which offers a view of the town, the Coudane wood and its arboretum, and the Grecq lake, a space dedicated to biodiversity.
