Further east, towards the Gers, stands the bastide of Geaune. With a square surrounded by arcades and 25 strictly square plots of land, the Tour des Augustins, the main vestige of the convent founded in 1401, the Languedoc Gothic-style Church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, a medieval garden (winner of the Rubans du Patrimoine prize) and a 15th century bell tower, the bastide of Geaune has many assets to offer.
Today it is the headquarters of the Cave des Vignerons Landais and the heart of the small Tursan winemaking area. This “secret” winemaking area, which occupies 450 hectares spread over some forty communes, produces red wines, rosés and whites that are increasingly sought-after. Plus a breath-taking view of the Pyrenees!
 A wine tasting is a must, at the Cave des Vignerons Landais cellar or at one of the chateaux of the appellation, before setting off again in the direction of Eugénie-les-Bains, not without first visiting the small hamlet of Pimbo, the oldest bastide in the Landes, with its astonishing 12th century collegiate church.
