Lannes, la balade de Gachot
While the first part of this circuit is very shady, the second offers more distant views. The vineyards and plum orchards of Ente are present to the north and south of the circuit.
The commune of Lannes, in the heart of the Albret country, is composed of hilly landscapes, bordered by the Landes forest, and by the Auzoue and Osse rivers. In 1287, the castrum is held by Bertrand de Grauhet. It is more particularly a castelnau. The town was then a border post with a garrison of 20 soldiers. It has a fortified church to the east, a castle to the west, and ramparts complete this defensive set. From the 16th century to the Revolution, the lordship of Villeneuve is the property of the family of Noillan. It depends on the royal justice of Mézin. The economy of Lannes is essentially based on agriculture and the production of wine, Armagnac and Floc de Gascogne, local aperitifs.
