Béarn and Bigorre, Heritage and History, Culture and Leisure... On site:
Lestelle Bétharram, an old fortified town built in 1335 by Gaston II of Foix, contains many architectural and religious treasures in the Baroque style, such as the altar of the Notre-Dame Chapel.
Its location on the border of Bigorre makes the town a place of meditation or leisure.
The pilgrims of Saint Jacques take the hiking trails around the city. Some walks can be done with the family, such as the Bruges-Misaget loop which allows you to appreciate the details of the village houses, over a distance of 9 km with a height difference of 70 m. Approximate duration 3h45
