Guided Tour: Step into the legend!

30 Oct

Devant l'Office de tourisme, Place Royale, 64390 Sauveterre-de-Béarn

Sauveterre-de-Béarn, a 12th-century medieval town, overlooks the Gave and offers a superb panoramic view of the Pyrenees. Once powerfully protected by its ramparts and numerous defensive structures, the village was built around its Romanesque-Gothic church and was home to the hunting lodge of Gaston Fébus, Prince of the Pyrenees in the 14th century. The town offered hospitality and shelter to pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela in its many convents and hospitals. It is also here that, according to legend, Queen Sancie was put on trial. Ready to delve into the history of this charming little town?
