About this property

Pretty, petite house with garden between Béarn and Basque Country (for 2-4)

Navarrenx has the "Prettiest villages in France" seal of approval.
A small, completely renovated house, in a typical local style has earned a 3-épi classification under the new rules of the 'Gîtes de France' association. It lies in a market town of an authentic, pastoral village in the Oloron mountain stream valley. Set on the borders or Béarn and the Basque Country, halfway between the sea and the mountain. We are 1.5 km away from Navarrenx city centre. Navarrenx itself is a medieval town known as the salmon fishing capital of the world and an eco-friendly holiday destination listed by the Station Verte de Vancances organisation. From September 2014, it is also among the closed, and prestigious, circle of France's prettiest villages (Plus Beaux Villages de France).
The covered terrace with garden furniture and a barbecue gives onto a beautiful garden adorned with trees and flowers. It is completely fenced-in and much appreciated. A walking trail starts right on the gite's doorstep. Herds of cattle and ewes cross the village. Other highlights include the cuisine and the friendly inns with menus that come to around € 11. There are farmer's markets and stands selling fresh produce.
The surrounding hills have a plethora of hiking trails. You can gaze at the Pyrenees from the stunning viewpoints.
Bearn des Gaves listed as a region rich in art and history (Pays d'Art d'Histoire) by the French Culture Ministry, is the new tourist destination between Béarn and the Basque Country. Here the art of living is set back from the vast traffic networks at the heart of an unspoilt natural setting. The latest holidaymaker marvelled that time seems to stand still here in the valley of the Oloron mountain streams.
There are family-run inns, farmers markets, and walking trails. Discover the festivals, markets, and concerts, as well as the summer entertainment. Recreational line-fishing; the Jurançon AOC wine route; and guided tours of the medieval sites, castles and mansions. Downhill trips on the mountain streams include rafting and kayaking the 20 km from Navarrenx to Sauveterre-de-Béarn. There are places to swim and sports to fish trout and salmon. This is a perfect place for relaxing holidays getting in touch with nature. Discover the rich history of both Béarn and the Basque Country.

Why they chose this property

A family property, I inherited it from my parents, refurnished it, and made it into a holiday rental. It is has a 3-épis quality label from the Gîtes de France association. After working for 35 years as a journalist in southwestern France,I passed retirement age and dedicated myself to rural tourism creating a Pays de Gaves blog. I want to try and share my passion for Béarn and its mountain streams that I am so fond of with my guests. It fills me with pride that it has been listed as a land of art and history and that the town of Navarrenx in September 2014, was the only destination accepted by the national jury of France's prettiest villages.

What makes this property unique

Since late 2014, my town of Narrenx has been included in the closed selection of Plus Beaux Villages de France (France's prettiest villages). It has been included as an eco-friendly tourist destination (Station Verte de Vacances) in Béarn des Gaves, itself officially recognised as a land rich in art and history!
Navarrenx is also the world capital of salmon fishing!
We invite you for delicious countryside holidays, getting back to nature.
The rental gite (classified 3 épis by Gîtes de France) is a small, pretty, and comfortable Béarnaise house recently renovated in Provencal country house stlye. The covered terrace is a pleasant living area that leads to the blooming garden planted with trees and fully fenced.
You can find the house in an authentic Bearnaise village set on the banks of the Oloron mountain stream It is 1.5 km from the medieval town centre of Navarrenx.
