LE PORT

In this commune with its exceptional heritage, now listed as a Monument Historique, the port of Laurède was one of the main ports on the Adour in the ^17th century. Among the materials transiting through Laurède were mainly wines from Chalosse and Béarn, which were transported to Bayonne on gabares, traditional flat-bottomed boats. One of the port's warehouses, Larribère, still exists today. Port activity gradually declined before ceasing in the ^19th century.
