Bordères-et-Lamensans: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Saligues de l'Adour are designated as a sensitive natural area and are located in the municipalities of Bordères-et-Lamensans, Renung and Cazères-sur-l'Adour. The changing courses of the Adour have created a distinctive wetland vegetation there: it ranges from submerged herbaceous communities through various herbaceous and shrubby stages of development to oak stands.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Bordères-et-Lamensans is therefore making an accommodation choice clearly focused on this location.

Nature

A path equipped with information boards runs along the quiet zone and allows the public to discover the Saligues de l'Adour; two car parks are available to visitors.

Culture

The present-day church of Bordères was built in 1867. Its construction was supported by the generosity of Empress Eugénie.

Signposts from the RD 824 indicate the way to the Chapelle de Lamensans. The chapel is built from Adour river pebbles and bricks; its construction may date back to the 12th century.

Trails

The Sentier gourmand can be accessed at the entrance to Bordères from the direction of Grenade, follows the Adour and leads to the Saligues site. The Circuit de Lamensans circular hiking trail starts in Bordères-et-Lamensans.

Visits

The Jardin de Marrast can be visited from the end of April to the end of June every afternoon except Tuesdays, either as part of a guided tour or independently.

At the centre of the Jardin de Marrast is a formal French garden. Less regular trees and plantings surround it, evoking an English garden.
