Bastide de Nay

It is halfway between Pau and Lourdes. Founded in 1302 by Marguerite de Moncada (Viscountess of Béarn) it has the architecture of the walled towns: central square lined with arcades, a hall, harmonious urban planning, fortifications from the 15th century, a wall and ramparts. This town has always played a commercial role (linen and wool textile crafts). In the 16th century ("century of merchants"), Nay experienced a period of great prosperity: many craftsmen worked there (weavers, dyers, embroiderers and tailors). In the 19th century, the presence of channels motivated the establishment of mills. Today, the beret remains a symbol of this industry.
