The “A Clermont-Ozourt” walking trail, the Church of Saint-Martin d’Ozourt and Pastis de la Chalosse, available from the Maison Laborde patisserie in Ozourt, offer three distinct reasons to stay: outdoor activity, architectural history and a specific pastry. The village itself forms a narrow strip of land running from north to south on the left bank of the Luy de France. When locating Ozourt on a map, its riverside position and north–south orientation help put it in context; the river and the shape of the land give the destination a clearly defined geographical setting.

Walking Trail and Location on the Luy de France

The walking trail follows mostly paths through wooded areas, but also partly runs along paved roads. This mix is a useful guide when deciding whether the route matches your idea of a walk: woodland is a defining feature, but paved roads are part of the route too. An alternative starting point is Ozourt’s community hall. This gives you a specific starting point in the village, as well as information about the type of route. You can weigh up whether the character of the path or the starting point is more important for your plans; the two details relate to different aspects of the same outing.

Saint-Martin: Romanesque Architecture and a History of Protection

The Church of Saint-Martin d’Ozourt probably dates from the Middle Ages and is Romanesque. The style and dating offer different clues: “Romanesque” describes the architectural style, while “probably medieval” cautiously indicates when it was built. Its features include a semicircular apse with old loopholes, as well as an unusual bell tower that makes the church easy to recognize. An apse is the semicircular end of a church; at Saint-Martin, this form and the loopholes make an architectural feature easy to see. During battles, the church served as a refuge for the local population. The church therefore offers two perspectives: its Romanesque architecture and its historical role as a place of protection. Anyone interested in church architecture will find both clearly identifiable architectural features and a specific historical context.

“Au fil de l’Art” in June 2026

The 2026 edition of the “Au fil de l’Art” art exhibition took place on 20 and 21 June 2026 in Ozourt’s community hall. It was the ninth edition, organized by Ozourt Loisirs. The program included painting, photography and sculpture. There were also workshops in drawing, ceramic modelling and metal forging. At the June 2026 edition, the exhibition and workshops offered different focuses: on one hand, the three visual art forms; on the other, practical work with drawing, ceramics and metal.

Pastis de la Chalosse from the Maison Laborde Patisserie

Pastis de la Chalosse is available from the Maison Laborde patisserie in Ozourt. Its aroma is characterized by rum and vanilla; its distinctive brioche-like crumb describes its texture. According to Maison Laborde, the recipe has remained unchanged for more than 40 years. The flavor and texture describe the product, while the information about the recipe describes its continuity over time.
