The « PrehistoSite de Brassempouy » is a place dedicated to the discovery of prehistory, especially of the Paleolithic artefacts found in the Grotte du Pape. This archaeological site, nested in the woods, yielded a great amount of artefacts amongst which nine feminine figurines carved from mammoth ivory. The most famous one, the “ Dame a la Capuche “ (the Hooded Lady), discovered in 1894, is known to be the first depiction of a human face and one of the most prominent Paleolithic masterpieces. Take advantage of a guided tour throughout the museum to observe highly accurate facsimiles of those figurines as well as a collection of original artefacts from the Grotte du Pape.

In the southern Landes, in the Pays d’Orthe et Arrigans, the village of Sorde-l’Abbaye has kept its rich heritage, a rarity in Aquitaine. Its fame is mainly due to its Benedictine abbey, founded at the end of the 10th century on the banks of the Gave d’Oloron river. This remarkable architectural ensemble overlooks a natural setting that is now protected. The Abbey of Saint-Jean (St. John’s) is listed as an Historic Monument and has been included in UNESCO’s World Heritage List as part of the Pilgrim’s Route in France to Santiago de Compostela.
