From the Roman road to Spain to the royal road of the Post Office, from the pilgrims' road to Compostela to the road of Charlemagne's and Napoleon's armies, from the vacation road to the road of thousands of trucks in transit to all Europe, the National Road 10 has known many vicissitudes and transformations that have deeply marked our village until today.

Isolated chapels, stones with evil powers, fountains with sacred waters, some mysteries remain today around these places still frequented. We invite you to follow this path to Santiago where the faith of the pilgrims is mixed with local beliefs. Have a nice walk !

A young river from a geological point of view, the Leyre carries sand which accumulates in the meanders. Canoeing offers a chance to discover this rich and fragile natural area. Here we propose a route from Saugnacq-et-Muret to Salles via Belin-Beliet. The regulation imposes to all the practitioners to know how to swim before leaving to navigate in canoe. This activity is offered to children who swim, accompanied by their parents, from 6 years old. A great and beautiful day, rather for an initiated profile. Always contact the socio-professional who rents canoes.

On the tracks of the Haureuils district. A well preserved local know-how. The district has interesting and typical heritage elements of the Haute Lande Girondine such as Landes barns, sheep pens in Barat-Neou but above all a well marked local know-how with the Dubourg establishments, known as the Grès de Gascogne, installed in the heart of the forest for more than 150 years, close to a clay deposit of an exceptional fineness which has existed for millions of years. They produce paving stones and ceramic tiles but also this famous resin pot called "Hugues pot" And on the way to the bakers, the family bakery "Le fournil d'Albert" is the witness of another time. Patrick Bordessoules and his sister, Corinne, have reopened the bakery in memory of their grandfather, keeping the old-fashioned method.

The water from La Fontaine Saint-Clair, near the church of Saint-Pierre de Mons, is known to cure eye diseases.

Mons and its church occupy a special place in the region, located on an ancient north-south road leading to Spain (ancient road then pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela). Ancient texts tell us that Roland de Roncesvalles' companions were buried there. A priory was installed there which was reformed in 1497. He controlled a large part of the Middle Leyre and its catchment area as far as Hostens. Texts dating from the end of the 15th century (royalties) give us information about their homes and what they cultivated. The 11th century church, originally with its defensive tower, dates from the late 15th century and reflects the defensive concerns raised by the 100-year war.

The produce is organically grown and cleared by hand. This agroforestry farm grows berries and potted plants, as well as medicinal and aromatic plants.

At the end of your visit, you'll have the opportunity to share a snack or Gascon meal with the ?Paloumayre?

The Leyre River takes its source near Luglon in the Moor, crosses the Moor plateau and flows into the Arcachon Bay. A vault of foliage overlooks the river, sometimes opening onto the sky. The valleys of the Leyre, composed of the Grande-Leyre (commonly called "Rivière sauvage" in France), the Petite-Leyre and the Eyre, are rare environments in Europe, where otters, European mink and European pond turtle survive. This area is ideal for walks and canoeing.

Following the takeover of the churches by the communes, the church of Saint-Jean was abandoned and destroyed. The one that stands today, rather simple and similar to the church of Cabanac, dates from 1879 but keeps its bell, a painting and an original peg.

Hard Geek Café is a friendly, family-run boutique café located in the heart of the Bassin d'Arcachon in the small town of Mios It's a simple concept - when we moved back to France in 2022, we couldn't find a family place for our children, Rose and Eric, where we felt comfortable and where the kids could express themselves without getting in the way, where we could play a board game or just have a hot chocolate or coffee. Coupled with Alec?s lifelong passion for TCGs, especially Pokémon over the past 30 years, this quickly led to the opening of our store. And speaking of passions, we also share a family passion for cooking. We look forward to offering you a home-cooked menu that respects and uses local, seasonal produce
