At the edge of the Nive which it dominates, Cambo les Bains was occupied from prehistoric times. Cambo's reputation is based on two sources, one ferruginous, the other sulphurous, which means that artists, celebrities, poets and writers have come here to treat various illnesses and benefit from the mild climate at all times.
The Queen of Spain, the King of England, Napoleon III and the Empress Eugenie once stayed there, but the most famous resident of Cambo les Bains was undoubtedly Edmond Rostand who, during a stay to treat a pleurisy, decided to settle there and build a sumptuous villa, Arnaga which now houses the Edmond Rostand Museum.
Do not hesitate to push the doors of the Saint Laurent church, classified as a historic monument, or of the Villa Arnaga, and set off to explore the magnificent Jardin des Thermes or the historic district of the city called Bas Cambo.
