Passiflorart
An estate and a gîte in the heart of the Bager woods.
Two venues at the foot of the Pyrenees
Thirty kilometres from Pau, Passiflorart brings together two reception venues: the estate, where you celebrate, and four kilometres away the gîte, both with a function room, lodgings and unusual places to sleep. Your guests arrive on Friday, dine on Saturday, have breakfast by the pool on Sunday, and nobody has to rush off.
The estate is a former Béarnaise farmhouse, converted into four buildings. Stone walls, exposed beams, a barn, terraces opening onto the mountains, part of them now covered by a recently built timber frame. And seventeen hectares around it, entirely yours.

29 hectares, two venues, two possibilities
What's included, and what we never impose
No curfew
The music stops when you decide it stops, not when a rulebook says so.
Any caterer you like
Nothing is imposed, not the food, not the music, not the decoration. The estate kitchen is yours to use, the bar is fitted out, the tables, chairs and benches are already here, and a giant barbecue is waiting outside.
Sound, lighting, screen
Sonos sound system, lighting effects, video projector and wifi across the whole estate. You arrive with your playlists, not with a van full of equipment.
On Sunday morning, the party isn't quite over
Cottages, cabins and wooden barrels
You sleep at both venues. At the gîte, four kilometres from the estate, rooms for two to six people and five cottages sleeping four to fifteen, each with its own kitchen and bathroom.
And then there are the unusual ones. Wooden cabins standing in the meadow, log caravans, and converted barrels with round doors and a terrace facing the landscape. Those are the ones your guests photograph and still talk about a year later.
See where to sleepThe questions you are already asking
What if it rains?
The rooms are fully enclosed and the terraces can be covered with marquees. The estate hosts events all year round, not only in summer.
Where do guests sleep?
You can sleep on site, at both venues. Each venue sleeps up to 120 guests in total.
What about large tables?
The old barn seats ninety guests, and the estate as a whole rises to two hundred and forty seated under marquees.
Is it far?
Thirty kilometres from Pau and seven from the centre of Arudy. Private parking on site, and step-free access for guests with reduced mobility.
How long can we stay?
Many arrive on the Wednesday or Thursday to set things up, and leave on Sunday with no fixed check-out time. The extra day is agreed when you book.
What about the children?
A playground outside, and an indoor play room upstairs at both venues, for rainy days and late evenings.
