Coarraze is a town and commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of the Aquitaine region in the south-west of France, in the former province of Béarn.
Due to its proximity to the town of Nay it is often normally referred to with the double barreled name "Coarraze-Nay" (such as its use in "Union sportive Coarraze Nay" or the SNCF train station "Coarraze-Nay")
