Beautiful view of the Bec du Gave castle

for those who live around Saint Martin de Hinx: I recommend it

A serene place to overlook and appreciate the two rivers. Depending on the time of year, it is possible to see the difference in color of the water.

Saint John the Baptist (Saint Jean Baptist), to whom this church is dedicated, is – like Saint Joseph – a man on the threshold of the Old and New Testaments. His parents are Zechariah and Elizabeth. After the proclamation of God's incarnation, the Mother of God visits her relative Elizabeth, who will give birth to a son in old age, John the Baptist. This is half a year older than Jesus and is considered his forerunner / pioneer. He lives in the desert, preaches the repentance of sins to the Jewish population and baptizes them in the Jordan, where Jesus also comes to be baptized, being filled with the Holy Spirit that descends on him from heaven. The memorial day of Saint John the Baptist (Jean-Baptist) in the calendar of saints is on June 24th, exactly half a year before 'Christmas Eve'.

Don't just look at it from the outside. Let the probe whirl on you inside. Stained glass windows and wall paintings. Pause. Refuel.

The 16th-century church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste is located in Saint-Jean-de-Marsacq. Particularly interesting are wall paintings in the church.
