Saint-magne, Gironde, Aquitaine

This itinerary allows you to approach the secret and magical environment of the "lagoons", small circular bodies of water of glacial origin. Around the Gât Mort, the forest opens up onto an area of open moorland vast enough to evoke the landscapes of centuries past. The nearby water table allows some of these lagoons to maintain a small water level throughout the year, but not exceeding one metre. The route, marked out by a few observatories, allows an overall reading of the vegetation.

This route is temporarily closed. No one would suspect that under the transparent waters of the Hostens Lake was one of the largest deposits of lignite in the early 1930s. Today it is a beach open for swimming and a reserve for fishing and birdwatching. A look back at this vanished civilization. Have a nice walk !

On 14 July 1944, 13 resistance fighters aged between 17 and 23 years old were taken by storm in this farm house by the German army. They were all killed. The Memorial Column is inscribed with the four virtues that nourished their ideas : faith, courage, sacrifice and victory.

A wash house, located in the village of Cabanac et Villagrains, next to the church, is supplied with drinking water.

The church, located on a small mound in the heart of the village, overlooks the wash house which is fed by a drinking water source where many people still come to get water because it is said to be fresh and light.

Although there is only one town hall and more than one school group, everything is duplicated in the commune: two wash houses, two prisons, two village halls and two churches: Saint Martin de Cabanac, which is a Romanesque church in its rear part and contains a remarkable Way of the Cross and magnificent stained glass windows, and Saint Jean de Villagrains Today, there are only remains of this village, only one partially destroyed house remains. The church was dismantled, the houses collapsed and the cemetery disappeared under the vegetation. In 1879, the church that had been abandoned was rebuilt in the present village of Villagrains. Only a bell dated 1544 still remains. The two main current economic resources of this forested commune are the wood industry and gravel extraction.

Curiosity has always been on two mounds at the entrance to the village of Cabanac. This heap of earth and stones still keeps its secret as to its origin.
