It was in 1299, even before the start of the Hundred Years' War, that the new town of Tardets Soholus was founded, a bastide that wanted to be loyal to the King of France, while the country of Soule was linked to the 'Aquitaine, under English obedience.

An authentic Basque village, Mauléon-Licharre is considered the capital of espadrille. It is also that of the small province of the Basque Country, Soule. The heights of its old town are separated from the lower town by the course of the Saison. In this part we find the Andurain de Maytie castle.

Not far from the Inhrupa pass and on the road to the Bagargui pass, the hostel allows you to take a well-deserved break with a beautiful view of the valley.
