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.

From the belvedere (110 meters above sea level), the gaze embraces the hills of Chalosse to the pine forest of the Landes in the distance. Below, the Dax-Saint-Sever railway line has given way to the greenway that walkers follow. For sports enthusiasts, a fitness trail has been set up. On Place François Dupaya, you will also find a picnic point. Facing the Chalosse landscape, tables, benches and a fountain await you.

To see: the Benedictine abbey, the convent, the Jacobins museum, the Butte de Morlane and its arenas.

Romanesque building with circular apse and rectangular bell tower, of which only the apse remains, dating from the end of the 12th century. Inside, you can see 18th century woodwork, a monumental 17th century wooden chandelier, funerary slabs, and above all a marble high altar made around 1770 by the Mazzetti sculptors of Swiss origin who worked also in Laurède, Montaut, Aire sur l'Adour, Brocas les Forges, Mont de Marsan, Saint Pierre du Mont, Dax, Orthevielle, Pouillon and Sorde l'Abbaye.

The classified capitals of the Saint-Girons Crypt are a jewel of the 12th century.

This old railway line has been converted into a very cool greenway for the hot summer days. Please note that the greenway is not paved, it is not recommended to take it by road bike.

To leave Saint-Sever, this small road descends to take you to the heart of Chalosse.

Thank you Dorothea for your tip! There was no service when we arrived, but the atmosphere touched us so much! So many architectural details to admire! Yes, and on the square in front of the cathedral we finally enjoyed café au lait et croissant again!
