Tips from the Community
The Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption church of Casteljaloux is a former collegiate church located in the heart of the town. A first Gothic church, built in the 15th century, housed a chapter of canons at the time. Destroyed in 1568 during the Wars of Religion, it was rebuilt from the 1680s onwards on its original foundations and according to the same plan, before being completed in 1763. Restored several times in the 19th century, it has a rare peculiarity: the motto of the Republic "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" appears on its pediment, added during work partly financed by the State in 1899. The building has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1998.

Between heritage and nature, Casteljaloux seduces with its historic center, its heritage linked to the d’Albret family, and its famous thermal baths. Surrounded by the Landes forest, this small Gascon town offers a pleasant stopover between historic streets, a leisure lake, and the gentle way of life of the Southwest.

The village of Damazan has retained all its charm with its central square and half-timbered houses. It's the perfect place to park your bike, enjoy a coffee in the shade, and soak up the atmosphere of the southwest.

The lake of Clarens and its leisure center offer an ideal space during the warm season to enjoy the body of water. It's an ideal stop to cool off after a bike tour!

Very pleasant route, mostly asphalted in the shade and at the water's edge of course. However, the Lot-et-Garonne part of this route is more bumpy, the roots lift the tar and make bumps that are sometimes quite significant, so don't be surprised. Another negative point, it is sometimes difficult to find free access water taps, even in the nautical stops you will most of the time have to go and ask for water in the bars or restaurants along the track, or leave the track to go directly to the village cemeteries.
