Orthez straddles the westward-flowing Gave de Pau. The 'Lac de l'Y' has a pleasant, scenic walking trail. On February 27 1814, the battle of Orthez took place in which the British Duke of Wellington defeated Marshal Soult on the hills to the north. Gaston Planté, the French physicist, was born here on the 22 April 1834; his major claim to fame was the invention in 1859 of the lead-acid battery, the common car battery.
