Bernadets lies in the catchment area of the Adour River . One of its tributaries, the Luy , flows along the eastern border of the municipality. Two left tributaries of the Luys, the Ruisseau du Lac and the Ruisseau le Lus, arise in the local area and flow there into the Luys.
history
The place is mentioned for the first time in the 9th century on the occasion of the founding of the Abbey of Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre by the Duke of Gascony . Bernadets is mentioned around 1030 in the copial book of this abbey according to Pierre de Marca's book Histoire de Béarn as Bernedet . In the 11th century, Bernadets of Saint-Castin was feudal . In the census of 1385 10 households in Bernadeg were counted and it was noted that the village is in the Bailliage of Pau. Further toponyms were subsequently Bernadegx (1402, renewed census in the Béarn), Bernadetz (1538, Reformation of Béarn). The municipality is entered as Bernadets on the map of Cassini in 1750 .
Population development
Up to the 1930s the level of the population was around 200. As a result, the number of residents fell until the 1960s, when it more than tripled in the following years, benefiting from the proximity of the main town of the department.

Attractions
- Castle of Bernadets. The castle, built in the 13th century, came into the possession of Jean de Sorbet in 1537. In 1766, Jean-Gratian de Laussat bought the building that was already shown on Cassini's 1750 map. In 1785 the medieval building was demolished and rebuilt by Pierre-Clément de Laussat. At the same time, he had a chapel built by the castle, which today serves as the local church. In 1860 the castle was redesigned and extended. Since then it has had two floors and an attic. At the same time, a garden was created around the castle by landscape gardener Buller. The castle has been owned by the Pré de Saint-Maur family since the end of the 19th century.
