Twinned with the city of Jaca, Oloron-Sainte-Marie is made up of three neighborhoods, each with a well-defined character. That of Notre-Dame, where the Church of Notre-Dame is located and the confluence of two rivers, the Gave d'Ossau and the d'Aspe, the houses on the river and the bridges save them. In the public park we can see the monuments in tribute to those who were part of the resistance during the German invasion. The Cathedral neighborhood in the upper area of the city with its narrow streets and the Cathedral of Sta. María, and the Santa Cruz neighborhood where the church of the same name is located, built on a hill that presides over the city and offers spectacular views. spectacular, especially during sunset.

Built at the beginning of the 18th century, the Rousse chapel is located on the slopes of Jurançon in the middle of the vineyard. Offering a view of the Pyrenees, it is also the place for varied activities around Béarnaise culture (music, dance, parties and also sports: trail and mountain biking). Benches and picnic tables are present nearby around a large oak tree. In case of rainy weather conditions, a courtyard is there for shelter.

The bridge is accessible from the V81 and allows you to cross over the Gave de Pau. Gave means "stream". It is 190.7 km long. Its most upstream source is located in the Cirque de Gavarnie. The large number of plastic waste present on the banks of the Gave represents one of the negative sides of the latter as well as of many rivers. Pay attention to your trash ;)

This magnificent church, which is attached to the diocese of Bayonne, Lescar and Oloron, is just as superb inside as it is outside. You will indeed find within its walls a baroque altarpiece dating from the end of the 17th century, as well as a mosaic dating from the 12th century. Also enjoy the meditation and the view of the Pyrenees.

Nice bike path along the river to Pau. The town itself has a lot to offer, the castle, a funicular, botanical gardens, beautiful architecture and of course lots of bars, restaurants and shops.

Due to the connection to the Way of St. James, a good infrastructure for hiking.

Sauvelade Abbey was founded by Benedictines in 1127 and later taken over by the Cistercian order. In 1385 there were 17 households there. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauvelade The monastery church is very simple, which can be attributed to the Cistercians. The Cistercians wanted to live exclusively from the work of their own hands. There was nothing left for magnificent stucco work and expensive architecture. This abbey was ravaged by the fearsome troops of Montgommery. However, the Cistercians were finally driven out in the French Revolution.
