Abstract

The Béarn region of southern France, benefits from a rich history that is often personified by the history of Count Gaston Fébus (1331-1391). For several decades the region has been trying to develop local tourism. The 2015 restauration of the Morlanne castle owned by the Department of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques provided archeologists with the opportunity to research the castles of this strategically important region situated at the border between the kingdoms of France and England. This project also encouraged a discussion on the future of these sites and the role of the local population.
