Navarrenx is very worth seeing. At the beginning of the 14th century, Navarrenx was converted into a bastide. In the 16th century it was redesigned by the King of Navarre based on the model of the Tuscan city of Lucca. The floor plan is in the shape of a turtle. The wall wall, the bridge Porte St-Antoine, the powder tower and the central square are impressive.

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.

FROM THE RAMPARTS TO LA VAUBAN ... a century before Vauban! Navarrenx, or in Latin Sponda Navarensi, meaning the border of Navarre… It was obvious that this city would arouse the envy of many neighbors and others further afield. Henry II of Albret will even compare himself to "a louse quarreled by two monkeys" when referring to the two Kings of France and Spain peeping over his land. Bastide from the 14th century, it was not until the reign of Henri II d'Albret, grandfather of King Henri IV, to see the construction of its impressive ramparts begin in 1538. 10 years of construction, 1.7 km long, 10 meters high, reputed to be impenetrable and revolutionary, don't these walls and their plan remind you of someone, a famous military architect for example…. Vauban will you tell us? Well little scoop, here in Navarrenx, we are pioneers. These Vauban-style ramparts were thus built a century before him! It is therefore to Fabricio Siciliano, an Italian architect, that Navarrenx owes its fame. Source: https://www.tourisme-bearn-gaves.com/
