Bidarray (French pronunciation: [bidaʁaj]; Basque: Bidarrai)[2] is a commune of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in southwestern France.[3] It is located in the former province of Lower Navarre.[2] Bidarray-Pont-Noblia station has rail connections to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Cambo-les-Bains and Bayonne.
Located here is the Noblia bridge, a Roman bridge that spans the Nive. According to legend it was built by the Laminak or Sorginak (witches) in one night, earning it the nickname "the Bridge of Hell".
Economy
[edit | edit source]The municipality is part of the production area for the Irouléguy vineyards. The activity is mainly agricultural. Bidarray is also part of the designation area for Ossau-Iraty cheese.
The purity of the waters of the Nive River has enabled the establishment of a fish farming activity. The river also allows for the practice of whitewater sports such as kayaking or rafting. A base has been established in the commune since 1991. Navigation is of moderate difficulty because most of its course consists of a succession of rapids and flat water stretches.
