Travel Guide Castelnau-Barbarens

This ancient fortified village was the capital of the county of Astarac and perched on its promontory, overlooking the surrounding valleys. This situation offers breathtaking landscapes, extending from coloured fields to hills without any limits other than horizon. Despite the destruction of the fortifications, it kept its medieval charm with the presence of the "embans", small terraces and covered passages formed by the streets, its tower of the xiii, its church with the splendid stained glass windows and some remains of the castle: A signposted course allows you to discover the remains and buildings of this remote period. Village of character but also flowery, at every step of the groves of roses, de, palm compositions and ivy are the walks and this charm has earned him a flower in the ranking! Take the time to stop there because time seems to have done it… and we understand it!
