Tourism

Today, this restored flower-filled village in Aquitaine exudes the charm inherited from centuries of history: remains of the ramparts, a patrol path, an arcaded square, houses with carved timber-framed walls, residences with mullioned windows, a manor house, etc. An ancient cobbled hillside, unique in the Landes department, three octagonal towers, and a curious lock chamber give it its unique character.

Beyond the historic center, the neighborhoods offer their own curiosities, including three churches and a castle listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments:

  • Église Saint-Sernin de Douzevielle
  • Église Saint-Martin de Noët
  • Église d’Argelouse
  • Château de Fondat
