Béarn, located in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques (Nouvelle-Aquitaine region), has a strong tradition of handweaving and textile craftsmanship, often using local sheep’s wool or homegrown linen/hemp. Artisans in the region often produced homespun fabrics for household use (towels, sheets, tablecloths, etc.), especially pre-industrialization. Traditional French Béarn household cloths — such as towels, table linens, and utility fabrics — have been made in the Béarn region of southwestern France since at least the 18th century.
