Bienvenue!

Château de Gère is situated at the foot of the western Pyrenées mountains, offering an ideal setting for relaxing getaways, sporty activities, artistic inspiration, cultural discovery, gourmet indulgence, and more.!

Originally constructed as a fortress, the château has been a prominent fixture in the Vallée d'Ossau since the 14th century. It has served as the residence of feudal lord Jean de Gère, the hunting lodge of King Henri IV, and home to other noble families. Today, the château welcomes guests for small group retreats and events. 

Welcome to the Vallée d'Ossau

(a hidden gem)

The Vallee d’Ossau may not be as well known as other parts of France, but with so much to offer, we find it to be a hidden gem.

With outdoor activities for every season, charming villages, a rich cultural history, and tasty local gastronomy (including plenty of wine and cheese), this little slice of paradise offers something for everyone.
