Description
Located in the heart of Béarn (64)--in the historic southwest of France--the Château d'Orion stands majestically between the mountains and the sea.
Fully renovated, this magnificent 17th-century château was rescued from decline and revitalized as a venue for transnational gatherings aimed at bridging society and science, the arts and agriculture, and different generations and nations. An intellectual microcosm that has evolved over the ages, the Château d'Orion unites the world of the mind to unleash creative potential; it opens up opportunities for local talent, and attracts international thinkers and artists.
