Chantilly Castle was built at the end of the 18th century. It is a capcazalier castle, a property free of rights and not under any lord. Its very sober architecture is characterized by its entrance porch topped by an imperial roof and supported by 2 Doric columns. On the garden side, a horseshoe-shaped staircase adorned with a beautiful wrought iron banister adds a delicate preciousness to this very regular building. Almost nothing remains of the original interior decorations, apart from the general organisation of the rooms, the main stairway and the lounges with wood panelling and polychrome stucco. The old park was redesigned in the 19th century. An 18th century kiosk, of which only the wooden skeleton remains, offers a beautiful view of the Adour. Today, the castle houses the town hall and is not open to visitors. The park has a playground.

On the outskirts of the village of Mugron in Chalosse, discover this beautiful 2,500 seat Lande arena bedecked with flowers, built in 1911. Long before the arena was erected, this spot was already used for courses landaises. Back then, carts were arranged in a circle, for use as benches for spectators watching the competitors try to dodge the horns of bulls or cows (whence the old-fashioned term, “char-à-banc” (literally, “bench cart”)). The arena was formerly known as “the amphitheatre of the course landaise square”. Built using stone from Mugron and Angoulême, it has 400 seats in covered stands. The arena, a stop along Mugron’s heritage trail, still hosts courses landaises in the summertime, for local fêtes. As a curious detail, it has a home built into its outer wall.

While a decree made the cemeteries the property of the communes and prohibited burials in the enclosure of the boroughs, the town council of Mugron voted in 1804 to enlarge the cemetery. The parish priest appealed to the faithful to finance it; parishioners who contributed could, if they wished, be buried there. The cemetery chapel was built in 1813 and consisted of two separate chapels: the large chapel, with its altar and 61 graves, and the small chapel. Thus, today there are some moving tombstones on the ground. They form an exceptional pavement of large polychrome marble slabs and black slate. The names of important families of Chalosse can be found there, in particular the d'Antin who left many memories in Mugron: castle, wine storehouse, church...
