Photo Safari Landscape

Photography Locations

We are located in a small peaceful village just outside Oloron-Sainte-Marie in the Pyrenees Atlantique region of South West France, with lovely views of the mountains and surrounding countryside.

Oloron-Sainte-Marie

Oloron is an historic centre with two 12th Century churches, but is also a bustling market town at the gateway to the Pyrenees. The heart of the town is very picturesque with the river (Gave d’Oloron) carving its way through, lined with houses built into the steep banks - great for fishing and water sports. The mellow, golden Jurançon wines are grown on the slopes between Oloron and Pau.

 


Pyrenees National Park

The central, almost uninhabited area of the Pyrenees National Park covers over 45,000 hectares. Within the Park the Pyrénean range stretches from West to East for about 100 kms. Three of the six main valleys are within easy travelling distance: the green, forested Vallée d’Aspe, the Vallée d’Ossau and Vallée Luz-Gavarnie with the amazing Cirque de Gavarnie and its spectacular 426 metre waterfall. We will also visit the Plateau de Benou, in the peripheral zone of the National Park, pictured right.
