Charming little village of Hautes-Pyrénées, on the road to Mongie, Asté takes place a few kilometers from Bagnères-de-Bigorre, in the valley of Campan. It is located on the banks of the Héris and Gavarni stream, not far from Ordizan or Sainte-Marie-de-Campan, about twenty kilometers from Tarbes.
Historically, Asté was once known for its carrot production, favored by light, sandy soil. Peaceful town in history, it is forging the face that we know today over the centuries, becoming little by little a hot spot of tourism in the region.
Visitors passing by appreciate its proximity to some of the most beautiful sites in the area, but also its architectural and natural heritage that is not lacking interest. Lovers of gastronomy will be seduced by the specialty of the place, the famous pie of Crastes cooked over a wood fire.
Formerly Asté was the carrot production village. The carrot, which had its seed, was sold throughout the department. The seed no longer exists, but continues in its memory, the feast of the carrot, "the caroutade", which takes place every year the first weekend of July, with the menu, beef with carrots.
