Sauveterre-de-Béarn is a pretty medieval village perched above the Gave d’Oloron and facing the Pyrennes in south-western France.

Built originally as a walled refuge (“sauveté” hence “Sauveterre”) from the turbulent times of the Dark Ages, Sauveterre grew in importance as its old bridge was on one of the main routes to Spain, used by pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela, and others. While the stone portions of the drawbridge remain, the wooden section is no longer there and the terminal of the bridge has been walled. The church and many buildings remain in their original condition.
