The original building was erected in the 12th century near the miraculous spring of Sainte-Quitterie (a virgin martyr very popular in the southwest of France). The spring, rebuilt in 1950, was already a place of pilgrimage before the construction of the parish church (its water was said to heal eye diseases and headaches).

The site of the abbey of Saint-Pierre de LARREULE was of great importance in the history of Béarn. During the formation of the Principality of the Pyrenees, around the 10th century, monks organized the large-scale clearing and development of the land; their abbeys were economic units. Only part of the Romanesque abbey church, built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 16th century after significant destruction by Protestant troops, remains of the abbey. Three Romanesque capitals as well as several listed statues from the 17th and 18th centuries can still be seen there. As the nave (oriented East-West) was never rebuilt, the old Romanesque transept (oriented North-South) served as the nave from the 17th century onwards, when the west wall was erected to complete the church.

The medieval village of Morlanne, perched on a ridge, houses some beautiful treasures such as its castle, its fortified church, or some beautiful panoramas of the surrounding countryside. It is a choice stopover in the heart of Béarnaise authenticity.

Although it serves to support the region in times of low water and is fed by local springs, the lake is mainly used for fishing. Swimming is prohibited, but running and walking are encouraged thanks to a pretty path around the lake.

A short climb of about 1.5 km with maximum gradients of 11%. It's a nice little climb to test your legs.
