La Bastide-Clairence, classé "les plus beaux villages de France"
Historic site and monument, Town, village and district
Welcome to La Bastide-Clairence, the "Xarnégou" territory between Basque and Gascon culture. With its checkerboard layout and side church, this medieval village, now listed as "Les plus beaux villages de France", has preserved its original layout since the 14th century, and perpetuated its artisan tradition. The old hosiery makers, nail makers, blacksmiths... have given way to arts and crafts that cultivate creativity and authenticity. Glassmakers, luthiers, painters, ceramists, designers, framers, cutlers... are just some of the many talents you'll be able to meet.
Come and discover the town's heritage: Place des Arceaux, church, Catholic and Jewish cemeteries, Labourdin and Navarrese-style houses, trinquet, and the town's former mill, now a chocolate factory. You can book a guided tour, map and itinerary at the tourist office.
