Brassempouy Guided tours of the Landes village

A picturesque village overlooking the hills of Chalosse, Brassempouy is known for its archaeological site. You can visit:

• The Brassempouy PrehistoSite which presents objects from archaeological excavations carried out in the Grotte du Pape.
• ArchéoParc dedicated to prehistoric techniques.

But it is above all the Middle Ages that shaped the village of Brassempouy. Indeed, the very construction of the town dates from the 12th century. It is organized as a village-street: the houses are aligned around a main street closed on one side by the castle (the one that is visible today dates from the 18th-19th century). On the other side, by the church. The village was attacked by French troops during the Hundred Years' War, when Aquitaine was English...

By the way: in the region: pronounce "Brassempouille".

Guided tours of the village and the church are available all year round for groups of at least 10 people.
