The Bénou plateau, located 900 meters above sea level, offers an open and clear landscape on the surrounding mountains: the Ports of Castet, Béon and Aste, the Mail Massibé. You can also admire the high Pyrenean mountains and their snow-capped peaks in the distance.

This site also enjoys the presence of cromlechs: these are prehistoric monuments, formed of menhirs placed in a circle.
