La Bastide-Clairence

Aquitaine

Bastide-Clairence borders the Basque country and the region of Navarre, this can be seen by the colours and the architecture of this village, white façades, red and green timbers.

A fort was built between 1283 and 1312 along the banks of the Joyeuse: Bastida de Clarenza. Bastide-Clairence boasts a glorious commercial past (hosiery, chocolate making). Next to the Christian cemetery, the Hebraic scriptures of the Jewish cemetery reminds that the Sephardi, expelled from Spain and Portugal found a haven there.
