Description

Lo Château Moncade domina Orthez e la valle del Gave de Pau, offrendo una vista panoramica sulla città vecchia e sui Pirenei. Per due secoli fu la residenza dei Visconti di Béarn. Costruito da Gaston VII de Moncade nel XIII secolo, presenta uno dei primi fossati in muratura d'Europa. Rimaneggiata nel XIV secolo da Gastone III di Foix-Béarn, detto Fébus, divenne lo scenario di una corte sontuosa cantata in tutto l'Occidente. È tra le sue mura che Fébus dettò il suo famoso Libro della Caccia. Oggi il mastio è l'ultima vestigia di questo castello e raggiunge un'altezza di 33 metri. Al piano terra, una sala espositiva testimonia questo prestigioso passato con il famoso libro di caccia, i fiorini di Fébus e i pesi della città. Dopo aver salito i 141 gradini che portano in cima al torrione, si gode di una vista eccezionale su Orthez e sui Pirenei.
