Eaux-Bonnes
The landscape around Eaux-Bonnes is a steep limestone Pyrenean valley of high ridges and wooded lower slopes, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This commune in the Vallée d’Ossau includes the thermal spa village of Eaux-Bonnes and Gourette, a mountain resort set higher in the valley. Mineral springs made Eaux-Bonnes a spa destination in the 19th century, while the surrounding relief has long dictated movement through the western French Pyrenees. Within the commune, the Col d’Aubisque is one of cycling’s best-known road passes and has repeatedly featured in the Tour de France. Crags, mountain pasture and tightly folded valleys give this corner of Béarn a distinctly rugged character.

Eaux-Bonnes combines the intimate scale of a mountain spa with the energetic character of a Pyrenean resort, reflecting its position in the Ossau Valley. The village lies beside the Valentin stream, a tributary of the Gave d’Ossau, amid the steep terrain of the French Pyrenees. Its sulphurous thermal waters made Eaux-Bonnes a noted spa destination in the 19th century, and the thermal establishment remains central to its identity. Higher in the same commune, Gourette is a long-established ski resort below the Col d’Aubisque, a celebrated pass on the Tour de France route.
