Proposed by the Pays d'Art et d'histoire Pyrénées béarnaises. To be found according to the day and opening hours of the swimming pool.

In the pastoral environment of the Pyrenees, women have long held a discreet place in households, far from the dream of living in the summer pastures. Nevertheless, their role was essential to daily life. For some time now, the shepherd's profession has been undergoing radical change, and is now being written in the feminine language. The testimonies of shepherdesses from the Aspe, Barétous, Ossau and Piémont Oloronais valleys will introduce you to these women through the generations.
