Arthez-d'Asson: Vacation Apartments and Holiday Homes

At the Ouzom forges, movable metal furnaces emerged in the 19th century, also making it possible to recover tar. The “le village né de la forge” Heritage Trail explores iron production through to electricity generation. This family-friendly walk leads between nature and history through landscapes in which nature is considered preserved. Pastoral activity is clearly visible along the trail; it is also freely accessible year-round.
