From the church, a beautiful walk is offered to you to discover the history of the city. The banks of the Gave are a few dozen steps to reach the Gave below and admire the view of the upper town. In addition, the shops around allow you to taste our small local specialties, and there is something for everyone (Charrier chocolates, Ihidoy ham ...).
