Small village in the Hautes-Pyrénées, about thirty kilometers from Tarbes, Arcizans-Avant is located in the heart of Bigorre, in the Pyrenees National Park. Known for its exceptional natural heritage, the rural town is located at the gates of Argelès-Gazost, not far from Préchac, Uz and Arras-en-Lavedan.
Arcizans-Avant has a history strongly linked to that of its castle. Taken by the English troops of the famous Black Prince during the Hundred Years' War, the latter notably served as a base for the English to invade all of Aquitaine.
Of this glorious past there are still some vestiges to be discovered during a stay in the surroundings.
