This town is the jewel of the Landes and one of the most beautiful villages in France. Labastide-d’Armagnac shows off its unspoilt grace around its central square with half-timbered houses, columns and arcades and the imposing fortress-church that crowns the town. Savour this atmosphere at one of the terraces, unless you prefer to go to the Tortoré, a few streets away, a café opened in 1885 which is worth the detour as much for its character as for Colette, the inimitable owner. Artists’ studios and curiosities line the medieval streets, like the Protestant temple built in 1607, now transformed into an exhibition space. Labastide-d’Armagnac is also a member of the worldwide Cittaslow network, cities where people take the time to live! At the exit of the village in the direction of the Gers, stands the Chapelle des Cyclistes, a national temple dedicated to bicycle lovers, which houses many champions’ jerseys.
