Monguilhem: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The bastide of Monguilhem was founded in 1319 through a paréage between Guilhem de Montaigut, the seneschal of the English king, and Annet de Toujouse, the lord of this place.

Town Structure

The bastide of Monguilhem is arranged around a large square measuring 70 metres on each side. Two main roads cross the bastide and intersect at the southwestern corner of the square; side streets complete the street grid.

Fishing at Lac du Charros is prohibited from the dam.

Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Monguilhem can save the place for their own travel planning.

Culture

The church was built around the third quarter of the 15th century; this is indicated by the date 1471 on the north wall, the flamboyant style of some of the windows, and the carved portal. The Église Saint-Pierre de Monguilhem, a Gothic building, was begun in 1471 and has an exterior porch with a rib vault.

The Course landaise, described as an original and festive spectacle, takes place in the Arènes de Monguilhem. The Arènes de Monguilhem are often erected specifically for local festivals.
