Arette is a Béarn village of the Barétous valley, long geared to sheep herding and mountain farming, on the edge of the Basque Country and Aragon.
The municipality, marked by the earthquake of 1967 which hit it hard, rebuilt itself and developed mountain tourism, notably around the La Pierre-Saint-Martin resort.
It has today around a thousand inhabitants and keeps, between its pastures, its village and its heights, the character of a Pyrenean village divided between rural life and holiday living.
With around a thousand inhabitants, Arette attracts year-round residents, families attached to the valley and a second-home clientele linked to the La Pierre-Saint-Martin resort. The village or mountain house is the flagship property here, at prices affordable by the standards of mountain markets.
