A church from the 12th century, the time when this bastide was founded. Beautifully painted, it would now need a gentle renovation.

The beautiful Church Notre-Dame de l'Assomption is located right in the large square of Labastide-d'Armagnac. At the south-east corner of Place Royale, the line of porticoes surrounding the square is abruptly interrupted by the imposing tower of the church founded in the medieval period, between the 14th and 15th centuries.

From the cycle path you come across this enormous goose farm which, for a non-French person, is probably a quite unusual sight.

Beautiful square with half-timbered houses where the church also overlooks.

Magnificent village dating from the 1200s. Beautiful courtyard where you can taste Armagnac in the shade of the arcades. A short tour to "our lady of cyclists" is required thereafter.

Cazaubon dates back to the Gallo-Roman era. Just over the other side of the Lac de l'Uby is a Spa town/area. There are public toilets and water access at the church in the center of Cazaubon.
