Guidebook for Maubourguet
Food Scene
This café is perfectly situated for a coffee in the morning, for lunch, or for drinks at any time of the day. The owner, Melany, and her staff are very welcoming and constantly strive to improve the menu and the ambience. You can sit outside under the trees that line the main street when the weather is good (a bit noisy due to passing traffic, but excellent for watching the world of Maubourguet pass by), or inside when it's cooler.

Drinks & Nightlife
During the Marciac Jazz Festival, the selection of different bars, restaurants and food kiosks, many open only for the festival, often in residents' back gardens, is mind-boggling. It's a delight to wander through the streets and decide on the spur of the moment which fare you'd like to sample.

The Donjon des Aigles is a wonderful bird-of-prey sanctuary in a stunning setting in the foothills of the Pyrenees. It's worth attending one of the spectacles when the birds are flown, but also lovely just to see them at rest in their cages. They have an Andean Condor, as well as many other birds.
