Built on the old railway line that connected Saint-Sever to the spa town of Dax, the Chalosse Green Route offers a 34-kilometer stretch on smooth, hard-surfaced ground. The route offers a bucolic atmosphere with landscapes of woods, hills, and meadows. Among the main tourist attractions are the town center of Saint-Sever (whose abbey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Santiago de Compostela Route), the villages of Mugron and Montfort with its Chalosse Museum, and Montaut, a charming Chalosse village. The Landes-Chalosse destination will delight cyclists thanks to its green route and numerous hiking trails.

Inside, you can see 18th century woodwork, a monumental 17th century wooden chandelier, funerary slabs, and above all a marble high altar made around 1770 by the Mazzetti sculptors of Swiss origin who worked also in Laurède, Montaut, Aire sur l'Adour, Brocas les Forges, Mont de Marsan, Saint Pierre du Mont, Dax, Orthevielle, Pouillon and Sorde l'Abbaye.

Built in cement in 1931 and covered in 1958, the Pomarez arenas are among the first completely covered in France. They host around fifteen bullfighting events each year, mainly Landes races, in addition to regular training from the Pomarez bullfighting school, the only one to teach this typically Landes game. The Pentecost races, those on the 1st Sunday of August and those on August 15 are benchmarks in the Landes bullfighting season. These arenas helped give Pomarez its nickname “Mecca of Landes racing”.
