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

Description

[edit ]

Eaux-Bonnes is close to the small town of Laruns. 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 village's waters were first documented in the middle of the 14th century. 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.[3]

The climate which characterizes the town is of "mountain climate", according to the typology of climates of France which then has eight major types of climates in metropolitan France.[4]

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