Saint-Étienne-D'orthe: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Saint-Étienne-d'Orthe offers panoramic views of the Pyrenees from the town centre.

Nature

The Barthes are regularly flooded areas of the Adour Valley with a diverse range of flora and fauna. They are protected by a 3 km-long dyke; canals and floodgates regulate the rise in water levels caused by the tides. The municipality invites visitors to take walks in the Barthes and along the local paths.

Culture

The Church of Saint-Étienne-d'Orthe has been a listed historic monument since 2008. It probably dates from the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century and has a later-built tower porch. Inside, there is a richly decorated and gilded walnut altarpiece from the mid-18th century, which is classified as a historic monument.

Rasport was the former port of Saint-Étienne-d'Orthe. Until 1970, it was home to a quarter of fishermen and boatmen, as well as a fishermen's restaurant. Wooden rafts from Chalosse departed from Rasport towards the ocean.

Local attractions

Le Sabot des Landes is a workshop that makes wooden clogs. The clog maker Claude Labarthe offers an insight into the production of wearable and decorative wooden clogs; the work follows a seventh-generation family tradition.

Apid'Or offers visits to the apiary by prior arrangement, for a maximum of four people per visit. The company sells its own honey directly throughout the year. The visit lasts an average of 30 minutes for individual visitors and 75 minutes for groups.

Anyone considering Saint-Étienne-d'Orthe as a travel destination may wish to rent a holiday apartment there.
