Sort-En-Chalosse combines walks along the Luy with a protected heritage ensemble and seasonal cooking workshops. The Circuit du Luy runs around the village, which sits on a promontory overlooking the Luy. The riverbanks also offer an idyllic place for a walk.
Walks around the Luy
The Circuit du Luy starts at Place de la Mairie in Sort-En-Chalosse and runs around the village. Its route combines a connection to the village with views of the riverside landscape. The starting point is clearly specified, so you can plan a walk from Place de la Mairie without assuming a particular walking time.
At Étang du Moulin, you can picnic in the shade of old plane trees along the Circuit du Luy. Conditions on site may vary. The route also offers the opportunity to discover a wetland. The circuit also offers the chance to visit the Chapelle du centenaire de Lourdes. These stops add different touches to the walk: a place to pause, a landscape area and a cultural point of interest.
The banks of the Luy in Sort-En-Chalosse also offer an idyllic place for a walk. If you include both the Circuit du Luy and the riverbanks in your travel plans, you can choose between a circular route around the village and a walk by the water. Both descriptions relate to Sort-En-Chalosse and the Luy; they provide different points of reference for planning a walk.
Protected ensemble in the Église Notre-Dame
The Église Notre-Dame in Sort-En-Chalosse houses a protected ensemble comprising an altar base, a tabernacle, an exposition throne, four candlesticks and a statue. The ensemble is an 18th-century work made of carved, gilded and polychrome-painted wood. The description thus covers both its components and its craftsmanship and historical period.
The tabernacle door is described in particular detail: a bas-relief depicts Christ on the cross. On the side panels, the right-hand side shows the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception on a crescent moon; the left-hand side depicts Saint Lawrence with his gridiron. These motifs make the details of the ensemble a heritage highlight in their own right when planning a trip, alongside the landscape around the Luy.
Seasonal cooking workshops
At Ferme Le Houn, Karine welcomes visitors for seasonal cooking workshops on Monday to Saturday afternoons, by reservation. The workshops are therefore subject to both a reservation and the season. If you would like to include this activity in your plans, arrange your visit for a suitable date and book in advance. This lets you include cooking as a separate activity without tying it to a particular walk or set route.
