Come and meet the powerful women of the 16th century who made the Béarn shine.
Women hold a particularly important place in the history of Béarn, whether for considerations of law, politics, economy or cultural life. In the 16th century, they played a leading role in developing the city or protecting it from invaders.
This year, the focus will be on the lasting footprint they left in Pau, in people’s minds and in the territory, and on their relationship to natural elements.
Immerse yourself in the history of these remarkable women, both rooted in their time and so modern! Four quick portraits, to watch in a unique way or in series!
This presentation is dedicated to Marguerite de Navarre: sister of François I, a brilliant politician and successful writer.
