The bet was won again for the Collections et Passions show: the now unmissable meeting place for collection enthusiasts attracted many visitors over the weekend of September 28 and 29.
Recognizable by their proud bright yellow hats, the volunteers, gathered around Michèle and Francis Dehaine, founders of the Collections en Béarn association, have this time once again met the challenge of organizing an event that is at once friendly, fascinating and always surprising.
The surprise at the bend of each aisle…

Captivating encounters
Coming to the collections fair means accepting the pact of plunging into a sweet madness for the duration of a stroll, and of enjoying beautiful moments of captivating encounters with people truly inhabited by their passion.
This year, representatives of the Lescar Paratroopers Museum were present, as well as the Friends of the Tarbes Firefighters Museum. The opportunity to delve into the history of these two emblematic bodies of our region.
