Parcours patrimoine : Autour du sanctuaire de Piétat

During the Middle-Ages, near Piétat, two chapels, on the path of the ridges, part of the Santiago Way, used to receive a large number of pilgrims. One in Narcastet, dedicated to Saint Ambrose, the other in Baliros. Not very far from there and many years later, after a shepherd saw the apparition of the Virgin Mary on these hills, the Catholic church was able to re-establish itself in Bearn, which had become Protestant after The Wars of Religion. Following construction of a first church in the 17th century, Notre Dame de Piétat became a major centre of Marian pilgrimage long before Lourdes.
