About the location

Haras national de Gelos-Pau

1 rue du Maréchal Leclerc, 64110 Gelos

Pyrénées-Atlantiques
Nouvelle-Aquitaine

In 1808, Napoleon Bonaparte, returning from Spain where he had just installed his brother on the throne of this kingdom, stayed at the castle of Gelos. He decided to set up an imperial stud farm on this property, which was then owned by Baron De Duplaa, president of the Navarre parliament. The transaction was not completed until 1817 with the purchase of joint ownership between the state and the department. On this date the first stallions arrived at Gelos.
The castle, built in the 18th century, is one of the most beautiful houses built in Béarn at that time. The stables were built in the 19th century.
The stud farm had 12 horse-drawn carriages from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, listed as Historical Monuments. The upholstery of honour housed the harnesses, collars, saddles and nets in a cozy atmosphere, bathed by the softness of the leather.
For its 15th edition, the Carrefour des Arts is presenting an exhibition of 30 artists - painters, photographers, sculptors and plastic
