Mugron is a small hilltop town with a lovely view. Park near the church and visit the Tree of Liberty, planted in the 19th century. It's majestic, and right next to it is a lovely viewpoint. Take a moment to admire the landscape beneath its canopy of trees. Mugrón is easily explored on foot. You'll find plenty to pack for a picnic, and then head to the leisure center: a lake where you can swim and enjoy water slides with the kids. There's a refreshment bar in season and everything you need for a pleasant time with family or friends, at a very reasonable price! The banks of the Adour also offer lovely walks.

Built on the old railway line that connected Saint-Sever to the spa town of Dax, the Chalosse Green Route offers a 34-kilometer stretch on smooth, hard-surfaced ground. The route offers a bucolic atmosphere with landscapes of woods, hills, and meadows. Among the main tourist attractions are the town center of Saint-Sever (whose abbey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Santiago de Compostela Route), the villages of Mugron and Montfort with its Chalosse Museum, and Montaut, a charming Chalosse village. The Landes-Chalosse destination will delight cyclists thanks to its green route and numerous hiking trails.

A former railway line, the Chalosse Greenway is an unusual playground for a walk or horseback ride. For mountain bikers, this trail can be completed in a day or in sections if you're bringing young children. Be careful, however, as this trail is unpaved and not suitable for road bikes. We recommend using the trail from two starting points: Hinx and Saint Sever (Augreilh district). This section is not shared with cars.

The decree of the Convention of 3 Pluviose Year II (January 23, 1794) ordered the planting of a Liberty Tree in all communes, a symbol of the Revolution's success over the Ancien Régime and its privileges. These were most often Italian poplars, symbolizing Equality, the Latin word "populus" meaning both the people and the poplar. The day after the proclamation of the Second Republic on February 25, 1848, the municipal council planted the most suitable tree from the Mugron forest, as a token of support for the Republic. Four years later, with the advent of the Second Empire, following a circular from Prince President Louis Napoléon, the Liberty Tree was cut down. "Its wood could be usefully used to repair the rubbish dump located in the lower courtyard of the Town Hall." The current tree, a pedunculate oak, was planted in 1947 during an event bringing together the Municipal Council and the population, including school children.
