Nay

Nay occupies a broad reach of the Gave de Pau valley in Béarn, in the western part of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. The town lies between the Pyrenean foothills and the plains towards Pau, in a landscape shaped by the river and local farming. Founded as a bastide in 1302, Nay retains the ordered streets and central-square plan associated with these medieval planned towns. It later became an important textile centre, particularly for the Béarnais beret; the Musée du Béret traces this local craft and industrial heritage. The surrounding Béarn connects Pyrenean routes with the historic towns of south-western France. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Nay and Béarn.
