Balade patrimoine d'Asson : une communauté pastorale millénaire

This walk in Asson in the Pays de Nay, between Bearn and Bigorre, leads you round an ancient agro-pastoral community. It occupied a strategic position at the crossroads of transhumance between mountain and lowland, at the frontier between Bearn and Bigorre and also on the Piedmont route towards Santiago. This walk starts in the present-day village of Asson at the “Castet Nau”, the new castle. It goes back through history, telling us about the life of yesteryear. It leads us to the top of the “Castet Bielh”, the old castle where you overlook the lowland and can enjoy a panoramic view of the Pyrenees.
