    • Come and stroll through this pretty Béarn town, located on the banks of the Ousse. From its ancient times, a 13th-century tower, part of the ramparts, and the 14th-century Gothic church remain. On Place Du Barry sits a bronze goose, the advanced sentinel of Béarn, once charged with warning the Béarn towns threatened by invaders from Bigorre. The town's coat of arms also includes a Latin motto: "Melior vigilentia somno" (Better to be awake than asleep).

      A 2 km circuit "Pontacq, a heritage along the water", takes you to discover the beautiful heritage of Pontacq.
      Self-guided tour, open to all, all year round. Free of charge.

      Ask for the detailed tour brochure at the tourist information offices in Arzacq, Morlaàs and Lembeye.
