The Buzet-sur-Baïse river stop is ideal for taking a break along the Canal Lateral à la Garonne. Perfect for cyclists, with plenty of supplies to stock up on!

Perfect for a short stop. Tables in the shade, a very pleasant setting near the Canal. Possibility to buy food and drinks at the harbor master's office (be careful it is not always open), toilets (reserved for customers of the harbor master's office 🙄) The village of Buzet is not very far, there are quite a few amenities.

Wikipedia: The first mention of Buzet is in a charter of Bernard Guilhem, Count of Gascony from 997 to 1009, which confirms the gift made by his father to the Abbey of Saint-Sever of three churches and a forest in the jurisdiction of Buzet. But it is not then a question of the castle. This appeared for the first time when Bernard Guilhem's successor, Sancho de Gascogne (1009-1032), offered the monks of Saint-Pierre de Condom his "domain (curtem) named Buzet and the castle (castellum) that he himself had fortified in it, with all his farms, vineyards, woods, meadows, pastures, wet and dry, cultivated and uncultivated (…)1”. As the text specifies, the Count of Gascony had himself ordered the fortification of a previous residence, which means that he can be considered without too much doubt as the founder of the Château de Buzet.

Many trails are located around the castle of Buzet .

The oldest part of the castle is the 13th century keep, to which windows were added in the 15th century. It was the residence at the time of Jean Poton de Xaintrailles who was a companion of Joan of Arc.

Built around the year 1000, it has had a long and varied history with many owners over the centuries. It now belongs to the Buzet winegrowers' cooperative, which presents its vineyards and the history of the region there.
