During a pleasant walk, in the middle of nature, you will discover the site of the Gardens of Bernatère. The association Bernatère created modifications there to revive this part of the valley, as in the Middle Ages. It has in particular installed a vegetable garden which aims to highlight Béarnaises traditions and the culture according to biological methods: a beautiful initiative. Today this place is classified as remarkable garden. The nature around is splendid with the stream of Bernatère, which leads to a waterfall that spouts out with a drop of more than 7 meters just before the mill of Minvielle, continuing its way around the other three mills, ruined, let imagine the activity of the 19th century around salt, white gold.
