Bastide of Vianne

Highlight • Historical Site

Founded in 1284, Vianne is one of the rare bastides in the Southwest to have preserved its system of fortifications: its ramparts, gates and towers, practically intact today, have resisted the assault of time and men to constitute one of the most authentic testimonies of the medieval past of Albret. To see: the Vianne garden of Gontaut-Biron (in search of the mystery of the She-Wolf of Vianne), the atypical Romanesque church, the ramparts of the bastide along the Baïse river.

Saint Christopher's Church, Vianne

Highlight • Religious Site

The name of Saint Christopher (Saint-CHRISTOPHE), to whom this Romanesque church in Vianne is dedicated, means "Christ-bearer". According to the legend of the saint, he was a gigantic man and carried people across a river. One day a small child called to him and he carried it on his shoulders to the other bank. Amazingly, the child became heavier and he said he felt as if the weight of the whole world was on his shoulders. Then the child revealed himself to him as Jesus Christ, Savior and Redeemer of the world.

Vianne, a bastide in Gascony

Highlight • Other

Founded in 1284, Vianne is one of the rare bastides in the southwest that has retained its fortification system: its city walls, four gates and towers, which are now practically intact, have withstood the onslaught of time and man and are one of the most authentic bastides testifying to Albret's medieval past. With the road crossing and the four gates, this design is reminiscent of Roman urban architecture with cardo and decumanus.
The Romanesque church is atypically located on the edge of the town.
