Things to see and do Sauvelade

The powder powder was restored in 1998 and was built in 1580 to rid the bas of the church where weapons and ammunition were stored, and the powder powder was created by the current square building and a wall wall. We will note the very beautiful inner stone vault that transmits in a rather astonishing way the vocal voice and sounds as in the basilica of Saint-Jean-de-Lateran in Rome.

It existed before the construction of the ramparts. With griffins, it allowed water supply in the event of a seat. You can reach it by 21 steps.

Its construction was completed in 1693, on the remains of the Maison des kings de Navarra, built in 1680. The imposing building of 590 m 2 on the ground surrounds a rectangular courtyard of 245 m 2. Its real role was the storage of arms, ammunition and food from Navarrenx, but also from Béarn. In the courtyard, 30 000 bullets or grenades were stored, 60 drill or mortars, and 150 000 bullets. Restored by the municipality, it is today, the cultural and tourist centre of the city.
