Insider tip — Sheltered in the Vert valley of the Pyrenees-Atlantiques near Oloron-Sainte-Marie, Saint-Christau's cold iron-rich springs emerge at 14°C from Pyrenean granite. The distinctive russet-colored iron precipitate on the rock faces signals water of exceptional mineral character. Combine a soak with a detour to the medieval pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela, which passes through this Béarn valley.
