Pouillon

Built in the 11th century, the Saint-Martin church unveils a fine example of Romanesque architecture. Fortified under the English occupation, as shown by the presence of albalatriere loopholes and the crenellations of the apse. The building also has 15th and 16th century Gothic naves, a very beautiful 18th century marble altar, as well as very colorful stained glass windows. The entire building is now classified as a Historic Monument.

While strolling in the town, do not fail to stop at the chapel of Bénarrucq at the end of the 19th century which served as a stopover for pilgrims to Saint-Jacques de Compostelle, or to admire the old mills transformed today in dwellings. A winegrowers' mass is celebrated every first Sunday in October in the chapel on the occasion of an organized march to raise money for the fight against cancer.

Known for its medicinal properties, the source of Bidas takes place on the road to Mimbaste. Source at 19 °, its water was particularly appreciated by Louis XIV, before experiencing an attempt at marketing at the beginning of the 20th century.

Appreciated by locals and tourists alike, Lake Luc offers many activities for the whole family, including mini-golf, children's games, tennis courts, fishing grounds and a pétanque court.

The market is held every Friday at the end of the afternoon in July and August.

The traditional Pouillon festivals are organized in mid-July with various activities and fireworks.

In November, place at the Pouillon Capital of the World festival on the occasion of the Saint-Martin holidays, with the program of concerts with a varied program.
