First mentioned in the 12th century, Coarraze is one of the twelve baronies of Béarn: its territory originally encompassed Labatmale and Saint-Vincent. Around its castle grew a large village, both farming and working-class. In the 19th and 20th centuries, it became one of the main industrial centres of the Pays de Nay, based around the textile and timber industries.

Punctuated by the prestigious heritage of the church and the château, this trail traces the history of these different activities, from home-based work to large-scale factories. Meet at the starting point, in the town hall car park.
