The Marsan and Armagnac greenway
The old railway line linking Gabarret to Mont-de-Marsan, via Cazaubon-Barbotan in the Gers, has been converted into a Greenway, offering lovers of walking and hiking or cycling a discovery area linking the Marsan and Armagnac.
The practice of these leisure activities can be developed in complete safety: the road is closed to motorized traffic.
The exploration of the riches of the natural and cultural heritage of Marsan and Armagnac, from the Voie Verte which serves as a structuring axis, is guided by the tale of Lucien, a young Gabardan from the beginning of the 20th century who takes the train in Gabarret to join the Victor Duruy high school in Mont-de-Marsan.
Along the way, sketches engraved on signs retrace the history of the places and customs of the regions crossed. Jérôme Chibrac the writer, Sylvie Bernadet the watercolourist and Jeanne-Marie Fritz the historian imagined this story based on local testimonies.
Leave the center of Mont-de-Marsan to reach Villeneuve-de-Marsan, by a shaded and pleasant route of 16km.
