De Mézin, la Médiévale à Poudenas, l'Italienne

Mézin is a stage of the GR®6543, the way of St-Jacques-de-Compostelle, via Vézelay. A stone statue of a pilgrim with his attributes is visible in the church. Below the church, in the Rue Cauzimis, a museum tells the saga of a family of cork makers from 1906 to the present day, in the company of Jules and his grandfather. After 4 km on the old railway line linking Agen to Mont-de-Marsan, your eyes will be drawn to the site of Poudenas. From the Romanesque bridge and the old post office, you will climb towards the church and the castle which was the former residence of the lords of Poudenas. Built in the 13th century, it was modified in the 17th century, evoking southern architecture. Sandy tracks cross the forest to the church of Cieuse. At the top of the Lasalle hill, a 180° panorama. The last ascent, gradually spreads out from the bridge over the Gélise to the medieval town.
