Clearly identifiable by the deciduous vegetation that contrasts with the maritime pine forest of the plateau, the Grande Leyre is a real waterway that winds through the undergrowth and banks lined with royal osmund The gallery forest, narrow on the Landes part, criss-crosses the pine forest. A young river from a geological point of view, the Leyre carries sand, which accumulates in the meanders. The canoe offers a chance to discover this rich and fragile natural space. Boarding at the most upstream point of the river: the airial of Mexico

The Grande Leyre and the Eyre are real waterways with banks lined with royal osmunda. The water, of rust color, slides on the undulating sand. The place is studded with dragonflies. Alder and oak trees form a vegetal canopy. The Leyre, of amber color, flows on a bed of sand.

Behind the small private chapel of Notre Dame, in the Moulin de Pin district, there are three magnificent fountains and a Way of the Cross. - The fountain of Saint Jean stands in the marshy meadow and is used for minor skin problems, - Not far away is the fountain of Notre Dame, which is visited for no specific reason, i.e. for all sorts of illnesses, just as in other Marian shrines, - The fountain of Saint Rose appears along the Way of the Cross which goes up the course of the stream. The fame of its waters is quite exceptional since it is often said to cure many cases of impetigo.

Belhade ... Where does this name come from? From the wide valley (from the Gascon "Vath lada") on which the castle of Belhade was built in the 13th century, or from a beautiful fairy (from the Gascon "bel hade") who lived there. To each his own story! What made the fame of this parish was its fountain known in all the valley of Leyre and its tree with the power of cure. Have a nice walk! Departure from the church square.

Commensacq's Romanesque church, largely rebuilt in the 15th century, was fortified in the following century during the Wars of Religion. The 17th century saw the construction of the Sainte-Quitterie chapel, which was converted into a porch in the 19th century. The present neo-Gothic bell tower dates from 1866. Two carved friezes were reassembled and adapted around the nave's western pillar in the early 19th century. Carved at the end of the 15th century, they depict secular scenes, probably illustrating the five senses. In the choir, a magnificent high altar by the Mazetti brothers from Avignon was added in 1781.

Vis Mineralis, Stéphanie Cherpin, Commensacq, 2011. Programmation : Laurent Le Deunff Stéphanie Cherpin chose to use an old wagon from the railway line that linked the Sabres station to Labouheyre, which she now proposes to us abandoned in the middle of the vegetation If this wagon has lost its function forever, it keeps in memory the imprint of a strong human activity. It imposes itself with all its potential as the object, the scale and the main material of a fossilized sculpture, colonized by an artificial cave. It is not a question of erecting a monument or magnifying a ruin, but of reviving a living sign that marks this union between the natural environment and technical productions, and will inevitably remain visible despite a gradual but irrepressible return to a wild state.

The tree-huggers. Bertrand Dezoteux. Ecomuseum Pavilion - Sabres, 2013. Programmation : Didier Arnaudet This installation is composed of five screens and proposes an imaginary journey, made in computer-generated images, through the maritime pine forest in the digital age Each screen presents the exercise or ritual performed by strange hybrid creatures from the meanders of evolution, in an uncertain time, to cross the forest, then at the end of this journey, try to climb a tree Each character has a different morphology, and thus possesses singular motor characteristics, and thus a unique way of moving and adapting Each creature invents a practice of the forest, producing an experience of its rectilinear and woven landscape, according to its fluid or laborious mobility.

With the exception of the aisles and porch, the church is classified as a Historic Monument. The chevet and central nave date from the 15th and 16th centuries, while the aisles date from the 19th century. Its bell-wall is the most remarkable in the region. It rests on imposing buttresses joined by an arch supporting a balcony, and its pediment is pierced by 5 arcades. The basket-handle west portal dates from the 16th century, a period of transition between Gothic and Renaissance art. Its five voussoirs are filled with real or imaginary animals and figures set in foliage. Three statues represent Saints Michel, Loup and Laurent. Magnificent trompe-l'oeil architectural decoration.

La portée, Marie Denis, Airial du Saucissé - Sabres, 2013. Programmation : Didier Arnaudet In this place charged with a forgotten past, a mystery, Marie Denis invites us to rediscover, to imagine the clues and signs that time and history have mixed or erased. Her Art Deco portal, in wrought iron, rises up without ostentation, surrounded by oak trees, in the elegant nakedness of her life, like the familiar vigil of a memory to be shared, and opens up to give free rein to the exchanges between reality and imagination, the visible and the invisible, the here and the elsewhere. It is adorned with stainless steel chime tubes, arranged in a sound and intriguing balance. The slightest breath of wind animates it and carries it away in a musical phrase, unpredictable, enchanted and therefore legendary, which has the fragility of a dream and the primitive simplicity of an emotion.

The media library is a friendly space of over 300m², managed and animated by the director, the digital animator and a team of volunteers, whose mission is to serve the local population and provide access to culture and digital tools.
