Office de Tourisme des Landes d'Armagnac - Labastide d'Armagnac Tourist Offices in Labastide d'Armagnac

Labastide-d'Armagnac, classified as a " Small Town of Character ", is a typical medieval bastide town in the southwest of France, founded in 1291. Its beating heart is the magnificent Place Royale, a square lined with half-timbered houses and arcades, inviting you to stroll. It is here that the Notre-Dame fortress church is located, whose massive crenellated bell tower bears witness to its defensive past.

A few kilometers from the center, don't miss the famous Chapel of Our Lady of Cyclists. A former place of worship from the 12th century, it has become a national sanctuary for cycling lovers, decorated with jerseys and objects donated by the greatest champions. It is an unusual and moving place that testifies to the passion for cycling.

History and culture lovers can also discover the Temple des Bastides, a former 17th-century Protestant temple that now houses a museum on the history of the region's bastides. Finally, a visit to the Château du Prada and its vast 18th-century park offers a beautiful escape into local history. The town is also an excellent starting point for exploring the Voie verte du Marsan et de l'Armagnac, a former railway line rehabilitated into a cycle path.
