The Experience
We love welcoming guests to Château de Gère and sharing our favorite things to see, do, eat, and drink in and around the Vallée d'Ossau. Whether strolling through local villages, going to the weekly outdoor market, taking in stunning views or enjoying the neighbor's cheese with a glass of wine, we look forward to introducing you to this little slice of paradise.
The château is our home and we do our best to make you comfortable during your stay. And it does feel like a home with open spaces, shared bathrooms and family-style meals.
We offer home-cooked meals, often serving regional specialties made with fresh ingredients, locally-sourced products and veggies from the garden.
Our retreats and events are designed to create memorable experiences for our guests, whether your traveling solo or with friends. We aim to create a positive environment based on our core values of kindness, open-mindedness, inclusivity, respect for others and the environment and fun.

Just finished traveling solo to Pau, France where I attended a wellness retreat at Chateau de Gere at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains where I hiked in glorious beauty, had a French cooking class, spa time (including a hamam), and enjoyed learning about the history of the area. Best solo travel experience ever!

We had a great time. It felt like we've known each other for a long time, which is a great feeling. And the place is amazing. The area is great and the château is so beautiful.
