Camping Le Mouliat: Explore the Charm of Moncrabeau

Legend has it that goats used to graze on this saltpetre-covered hill. Other hills with remarkable views, dotted with churches, castles and large farms are worth discovering.

The Perrou, a small stream between Lasserre and Francescas, has been adorned in a few years with several water reservoirs. They appear from the heights like pearls, mirrors of the surrounding fields.

The rivers of Albret draw asymmetrical valleys. The left bank with gentle slopes is often wooded. The right bank is steeper and gives way to a very fertile narrow plateau.

Through the hillsides of Gascony, from the gateway to the Gers to the Garonne valley, there are many viewpoints Montagnac, Moncaut or Saint-Cirice or Beaulens allow you to discover the villages of the richly cultivated hills, almost idyllic landscapes to observe as the seasons go by Sometimes, the gaze goes further towards the long ribbon of the Pyrenees which is cut in zigzags on the horizon.

Built on a hill, the village of Francescas, dominates hillsides and valleys. This village was first formed around the church and then, in 1286, Edward I transformed it into a bastide. It is then enclosed in fortifications and surrounded by moats. The access is made by four doors, damaged during the wars of Religion, they are destroyed in the eighteenth century. Today, you can see a house whose facades date from the 16th century, which houses a museum of tin cans. 500 pieces from England and elsewhere are on display. Before leaving the bastide, look for the house of La Hire, companion of Joan of Arc, which dates from the 13th century On this circuit, you will see representative pigeon lofts of Albret with original roofs on the round tower of the bastide of Francescas, built on round pillars, stones in Terrette or square tower in Coussire.

From 110 to 192 m of altitude, the viewpoints abound. Fieux, St-Ourens, Puy-Fort-Éguille, Lamothe, Garlies, the landscape where these Occitan place names resound opens up from ever-changing angles.

The commune of Lannes, in the heart of the Albret country, is composed of hilly landscapes, bordered by the Landes forest, and by the Auzoue and Osse rivers. In 1287, the castrum is held by Bertrand de Grauhet. It is more particularly a castelnau. The town was then a border post with a garrison of 20 soldiers. It has a fortified church to the east, a castle to the west, and ramparts complete this defensive set. From the 16th century to the Revolution, the lordship of Villeneuve is the property of the family of Noillan. It depends on the royal justice of Mézin. The economy of Lannes is essentially based on agriculture and the production of wine, Armagnac and Floc de Gascogne, local aperitifs.

The south of Albret is the heart of the A.O.C. Armagnac-Ténarèze. Crossing the vineyards, you will smell the powerful perfumes of this brandy produced in old and traditional copper stills.

The village of Fréchou, whose name comes from the ash tree, is admirably situated in the heart of the Pays d'Albret, between the Baïse valley and the Osse valley In the 13th century, it was a common castrum, formed around its castle and its church. But, in 1588, it enters the history of France: It is the lord of Fréchou, François de Montpezat, commander of the guard of the "Quarante-cinq" who assassinates the duke of Guise in 1588 at the States General of Blois on order of Henri III. Le Fréchou is also known for its dam-bridge called "Roman bridge", and its massive wall with three arches whose origin remains mysterious. The castle stands in a fortified courtyard, the portal is framed by flat pillars, and surmounted by a coat of arms and a mullioned window. The windows and the door date from the beginning of the 16th century. A big tower of the XIIIth century, in ruin, stands behind th

A small perched village, a castle, a dovecote, a festive tradition around the melon. The Land of the Ash Trees could just as well be called the Land of the Oaks. They provide shade and coolness on some parts of this route.
