Cette-Eygun (French pronunciation: [sɛt eɡœ̃]; Occitan: Cèta e Eigun) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France.

The famous restaurateur Jean Bergez immigrated from Cette-Eygun to San Francisco, California around 1877. [3] He worked his way up in the restaurant business before becoming one of the proprietors of the acclaimed Bergez-Frank's Old Poodle Dog in San Francisco. [4]

Its station on the Pau–Canfranc railway was closed after an accident in 1970.
