Belin-Béliet: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Leyre runs through Belin-Béliet. It has shaped its valley through sand, gravel and Pliocene clays. The emblematic sites of the Leyre valleys include the Marais du Graoux in Belin-Béliet. They form a mosaic of swamp forest, heathland, marshes, wet meadows and aquatic plant beds and are home to, among others, otters, European pond turtles and grey herons.
