Tour of Upper Chalosse (Landes)

From Montfort-en-Chalosse, a medieval fortified town, the trail winds its way towards Lourquen and Mugron, nicknamed the "belvedere of the Adour," where the history of river trade is still evident in the architecture of the manor houses. Passing through Montaut and Brocas, the landscape reveals a mosaic of clay-limestone hillsides and oak forests, a far cry from the vast, monotonous pine forests of the coast. A stop in Maylis reveals its Benedictine abbey. The route continues towards Bergouey and Caupenne, unveiling an authentic rural heritage of Romanesque churches and traditional Landes farmhouses. Between Baigts and the Adour wetlands, hikers encounter rich biodiversity, where birds of prey soar above the cornfields and vineyards of Tursan. This circuit is an immersion into a hidden Gascony, where each village tells the story of a different era, from feudalism to pastoralism.
