The most beautiful natural sites to discover Pyrénées-Atlantiques

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.

Stretching over more than 3 km, the beach of Hendaye is a privileged site with a panorama that extends from the Spanish shores to the 2 large rocks called "the Twins" which are, perhaps, the most characteristic of the city. The beach is a good compromise, both for beginners and for experienced surfers in search of sensations. The beach operators offer various services such as the rental of tents, deckchairs and beach clubs. In summer, sand castle contests follow Zumba classes and yoga initiations.
