Mugron is a small hilltop town with a lovely view. Park near the church and visit the Tree of Liberty, planted in the 19th century. It's majestic, and right next to it is a lovely viewpoint. Take a moment to admire the landscape beneath its canopy of trees. Mugrón is easily explored on foot. You'll find plenty to pack for a picnic, and then head to the leisure center: a lake where you can swim and enjoy water slides with the kids. There's a refreshment bar in season and everything you need for a pleasant time with family or friends, at a very reasonable price! The banks of the Adour also offer lovely walks.

Henri Emmanuelli (1945-2017), Member of Parliament and President of the Landes Departmental Council for over three decades, served several times as Secretary of State under François Mitterrand in the 1980s and as President of the National Assembly between 1992 and 1993. He lived in Laurède. The Memorial was inaugurated on September 10, 2018, by sculptor Jacques Raoult and architect Michel Cantal-Dupart. These two artists previously collaborated on the sculpture of the François Mitterrand Memorial in Soustons. Henri Emmanuelli, the most emblematic political figure in the Landes region, is immortalized seated on a bench, his gesture relaxed but his gaze fixed on the Pyrenean horizon and the Eaux-Bonnes mountains, where "Ricou," the grandson of an Ossalois shepherd, was born. source: https://www.tourismelandes.com/patrimoine-culturel/memorial-henri-emmanuelli-pcuaqu040v50r0cp/

The decree of the Convention of 3 Pluviose Year II (January 23, 1794) ordered the planting of a Liberty Tree in all communes, a symbol of the Revolution's success over the Ancien Régime and its privileges. These were most often Italian poplars, symbolizing Equality, the Latin word "populus" meaning both the people and the poplar. The day after the proclamation of the Second Republic on February 25, 1848, the municipal council planted the most suitable tree from the Mugron forest, as a token of support for the Republic. Four years later, with the advent of the Second Empire, following a circular from Prince President Louis Napoléon, the Liberty Tree was cut down. "Its wood could be usefully used to repair the rubbish dump located in the lower courtyard of the Town Hall." The current tree, a pedunculate oak, was planted in 1947 during an event bringing together the Municipal Council and the population, including school children.

The church of Sainte-Croix is a 12th century Romanesque church located in the municipality of Carcarès-Sainte-Croix which has around 520 inhabitants and is located in the center of the Landes, between Mont-de-Marsan and Dax. The village is a very ancient settlement, due to the river, on the edge of which two "fortified" Romanesque churches were built and have been almost entirely restored.
