Accueil Notre-Dame, Bétharram

Geschichte

Betharram means "beautiful branch".

According to tradition, a young girl having fallen into the Gave, invoked the Madonna when the torrent was about to engulf her. Suddenly a branch of a tree was under her hand, and she returned to the shore.

In gratitude, she placed a branch of a golden tree on the altar of the protectress, and the name of Betharram was adopted for this blessed place.
