Eaux-Bonnes

Eaux-Bonnes (French: [o bɔn], "good waters"; Occitan: Aigas Bonas) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France.

It is situated at a height of 2,460 feet (750 m) at the entrance of a fine gorge, overlooking the confluence of two rivers.

The Eaux-Chaudes spa is 5 miles (8.0 km) south-west of Eaux-Bonnes, and there is fine mountain scenery in the neighbourhood of both places, the Pic de Ger near Eaux-Bonnes.

[4] Gourette is a winter sports resort located in the commune on the high mountain pass Col d'Aubisque.

Nearby to the north-west on the Surcou road, is the impressive villa Cockade, the construction of which is detailed in Dornford Yates's novel The House That Berry Built.
