About

  • English
    • This former bastide founded in 1281 by King Edward 1st, changed suzerain 10 times to become French in 1451. Today it has retained its central arcaded square, its checkerboard streets, four enclosure gates of its ramparts and beautiful superbly restored half-timbered house.

      In the surroundings, some architectural gems are available to visitors: the Abbey of Saint-Nicolas de Blasimon, a former Benedictine abbey nestled in the Gamage valley, listed as a Historic Monument; the fortified watermill of Labarthe, built like a fortified house; the Haut Benauge windmill museum, built in 1600 and restored in 1970; the abbey of Saint-Ferme, overlooking the village of the same name, located on the way to Compostela; and the village of Castelmon-d'Albret, the smallest village in France, perched on a promontory and surrounded by walls.
