About the getaway
Come join us the weekend of 3-5 October for the Vallée d'Ossau cheese festival.
This annual event is one of the biggest and most anticipated events in the valley, bringing together the local community as well as visitors from near and far, all in the name of cheese. In addition to cheese tastings and awards, the festival offers a range of activities from sheep shearing demonstrations to traditional Béarnaise music and dance to ancient games and so much more. And there is no shortage of food vendors and other local products to discover.
This getaway is ideal for a girls weekend as well as for solo travellers who are ready to escape to the countryside for an authentic French experience.
