モンタストルーク周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ11

a very welcome place for a drink or a bite as there's not much else in the neirborhood

Splendid view of the Mauvezin castle.

It is the "Achella reservoir" of Sére-Rustaing and not the "Mun lake", as is usually said. The Sérais are keen to clarify this 😁.

be careful the west side of the lake is passable by mountain bike. On the east side, quite a few trails have become prohibited.

This very pleasant village has some first-rate historical monuments. Thus, the Saint-Julien church has a monumental altarpiece and beautiful old paintings. The town hall is also worth the detour.

“La Ténarèze” was the prehistoric route which linked the Pyrenees to Bordeaux. It followed, at the crest, the watershed between the watersheds of the Garonne to the east and that of the Adour to the west, without ever crossing a ford or a bridge. Although it is no longer continuous, it can still be followed from the Col de Luquet to Labastide. It is largely tarmac, but there are still some nice gravel sections.

The cycle route V81 leads in a wide arc to the north via Tarbes. We take shortcuts on beautiful roads with little traffic to get to Lourdes. It is hilly, lots of forest, cow pastures and individual farmsteads, deserted villages, the infrastructure is missing everywhere (no cafes, shops, etc.), the old stone-walled farmhouses have been stylishly developed as holiday homes and are deserted at this time (June). Again and again great views of the Pyrenees main ridge
