Pontacq, un patrimoine au fil de l'eau

Come and stroll in this pretty city of Béarn, located on the banks of the Ousse. A 13th century tower, part of the ramparts and the 14th century gothic church remain from the old days. On the Place Du Barry stands a bronze goose, an advanced sentinel of Béarn, in charge of warning the Béarn cities threatened by invaders coming from Bigorre. The city?s coat of arms includes a motto in Latin "Melior vigilentia somno" (Better to watch than to sleep).
A 2 km circuit "Pontacq, a heritage along the water", leads you to the discovery of the beautiful heritage of Pontacq. The brochure is available in the tourist information offices of Lembeye, Morlaàs and Arzacq.
Free visit, accessible to all, all year long.
