Owner Location Comment
The the Béarn is the beautiful part of south west France between the Atlantic Ocean, the Pyrénées mountains and Spain and is dominated by the valleys of the two large mountain river sources called 'Gaves' ,the Gave d'Oloron and the Gave de Pau - two of Europe's finest Salmon and Trout fishing rivers.
The rest of the terrain is rolling hills and valleys with magnificent views of the Pyrenees Mountains and the surrounding countryside
The area is a genuine place to visit offering a great mix of superb landscapes, old stones, quaint hotels and villages, rustic but fantastic gastronomy and an amazing array of activities to suit all ages and tastes.
