Larrau A traditional village in Soule steeped in history

  • English

    • Larrau is a small, welcoming and perfectly maintained mountain village nestled at the foot of the Pic d'Orhi and huddled around its pelota court and church.
      This is a traditional village in the Soule region, with its houses featuring steeply pitched slate roofs. A lovely little stroll through the heart of the village's steep alleyways.
      Explore the surrounding area along the Erroymedi pass road, a land of wood pigeon hunting in season, and visit the Kakouetta gorges not far from Larrau (8km)...
