Village du Nomdieu

The village of Le Nomdieu is built around the commandery of the Templars founded in the 12th century. Leaning against the remains of this building, you will not be able to miss the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church. This building has thick walls, pierced with narrow openings, witness of its defensive character. On the square at the foot of the church, you will find an astonishing sundial, known as analemmatic. It is the first of a series of four sundials located around the village, which you can discover through a 3h35 walk. A sign tells you how to proceed to read the time. All you have to do is stand in the centre of the dial, and your shadow will indicate the time thanks to the numbers engraved in the stone. You will thus discover a total of four sundials, during a pleasant walk in the heart of the Albret hillside landscapes.
