- A MEDIEVAL AND HISTORICAL THEME PARK AT MONTANER CASTLE
  Montaner Castle offers a fun and historical game trail to explore its wooded grounds. It's a great family outing idea where parents and children can enjoy all sorts of games together, both outdoors and inside the castle.
  During their adventure, players journey through meadows, forests, the main courtyard, and part of the medieval keep. This leisure activity will entertain children and parents alike, offering a glimpse into life in the Middle Ages and the story of Gaston Fébus, the prince of Béarn.
  
  An activity for families between Béarn and Hautes-Pyrénées
  Montaner Castle welcomes you for a day of family adventure less than an hour from Pau, Tarbes, and Lourdes, with its medieval treasure hunt. For a truly immersive experience in the Middle Ages, visitors can enjoy medieval entertainment during July and August. Knights' battles, archery, axe throwing, medieval songs and dances… and even treetop trekking! A vibrant program awaits visitors of all ages this summer at Montaner Castle.

A wonderful rediscovery! We spent a lovely sunny afternoon (a little over two hours, but we could have easily stayed longer) exploring the puzzle trail with our 9-year-old son (bring comfortable shoes and a water bottle). The welcome was fantastic!
