In the center of the village of Samadet, this former royal factory has been taken over by Muriel who makes hand-painted porcelain dishes with motifs inspired by the 18th century. In the store, which is open to the public, you can also find pieces from Moustiers.

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.

Located in the heart of the historic capital of Haut-Béarn, at the confluence of the gaves of Aspe and Ossau, this charming site first hosted craft and then industrial activities, including the Bedat sandal factory. From now on, the Centre d'Interprétation de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine occupies the two major buildings of the site, the factory itself, enlarged in the 1920s, as well as the large employer's residence attached to it. This cultural site has a permanent exhibition of 200 m², spread over the two levels of the factory. It presents the territory of the Béarn Pyrenees in all its dimensions (heritage, economy...). With a space designed to host temporary exhibitions and a 90-seat auditorium, the Villa du Pays d'art et d'histoire offers a year-round programme of events to the delight of residents of Béarn and visitors from all over the world. A soothing and essential place. Entering it is a guarantee of escape, all you have to do is go!

The Maison de l'dominates et du patrimoine also known as MOP is a regional centre of hospitality with the mission of welcoming storytellers in residence, echoing the Festival of Capbreton's Tale, which takes place every year in early August, an indispensable one for who likes words and legends.

Role of this structure: setting up stories and transforming them by artists. The stories are still coming from the fishermen's environment, from rescuers at sea, from foresters… A programme of education and artistic education is developed with the introduction of workshops for young people and all lovers of storytelling…
