La Conciergerie was originally the gate house for the adjacent chateau in the small village of Méritein. It stands in the grounds of the chateau, but is now a separate house with a large mature garden. It has three bedrooms and can comfortably sleep six people. Meritein is in the heart of the 'Béarn', a region next to the Basque country in the West, just north of the Pyrénées. Méritein is a 15 minute walk to Navarrenx, a small fortified town on the banks of the 'Gave d'Oloron' a large river hosting the annual World Salmon Fishing Championships. Meritein and Navarrenx are on the 'Chemin de St Jacques de Compostelle' pilgrimage route down to northern Spain (the GR65 route in France).
