Pretty chapel, and space designed for a comfortable stop (tables, shelters, toilets, etc.). When I was there, the chapel was closed. Find out about the opening dates if you want to see the interior.

On May 18, 1959, cycling world champion André Darrigade left his jersey, thus starting a tradition. In summer, the church is open in the morning and afternoon. In autumn, unfortunately, it is only open in the afternoon from 3 p.m., so we were unable to visit.

A church from the 12th century, the time when this bastide was founded. Beautifully painted, it would now need a gentle renovation.

The beautiful Church Notre-Dame de l'Assomption is located right in the large square of Labastide-d'Armagnac. At the south-east corner of Place Royale, the line of porticoes surrounding the square is abruptly interrupted by the imposing tower of the church founded in the medieval period, between the 14th and 15th centuries.

I am truly more than surprised to find this church. But in the country that hosts the "Tour de France", which is so important beyond its borders, there must be a place of worship like this.

Beautiful square with half-timbered houses where the church also overlooks.

Along the green way created from the old railway there is this beautiful church dedicated to Santa Maria dei cyclists. Inside are endless t-shirts of famous cyclists. Absolutely obligatory stop.
