Beost

Few places in Nouvelle-Aquitaine have a history as closely tied to Pyrenean pastoralism as Béost. In the Vallée d’Ossau, this commune lies by the Gave d’Ossau, where steep valley slopes rise toward the high Pyrenees near the Spanish border. Seasonal movement of sheep and cattle to summer pastures has long shaped local life, and the valley belongs to the area associated with Ossau-Iraty, the protected ewe’s-milk cheese of the western Pyrenees. Béost is close to Laruns and forms part of an Ossau valley landscape of hamlets, pastureland and mountain routes.
