Things to Do  

The village church

The village church, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  The church isn't in use anymore. Only for very few occasions will the door open now. One of the villagers told me that the mayor let the building fall into ruins because he had other interests. It sounded like this person was disappointed. It was kind of strange to see this... 

The village washing building

The village washing building, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  Now just a nice feature and especially so for its location just below the village, but a highly useful building in the old days. It makes for very picturesque pictures 

Defense walls

 Mique Says:  When you walk under the entrance gate 'at the back' of the village, you'll find this view. Now the word 'defense' makes much more sense

Chez Pierre: dog in kitchen, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 woggleboard Says:  I was going to eat at this restaurant, but as I was sat at the bar, the door to the kitchen swung open and there was a dog there licking all the cooking pots. Needless to say I made a hasty retreat. Didn't eat there, so can't say 

Chez Pierre: Check Your Bill

Chez Pierre: Check Your Bill, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 noodlepoodle Says:  The restaurant is combined with a bar/brocante, so the decor is shabby and full of loads of overpriced junk for sale. The opening times seem to vary with when it is convenient with the people that work there.The food is mediocre and overpriced for the quality. One important... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Best leave the car

Best leave the car, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  If you decide to visit Castelmoron d´Albret best leave your car parked on the small parking that you´ll find alongside the road to Caumont. It doesn´t much look like a parking but it has a small sign ´parking for visitors´ attached to the tree in the middle... Anyway, do... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Along the little river

Along the little river, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  If you've decided to walk under the gate and you don't feel like doubling back on your paces there is an alternative route. Continue to follow the path under the village walls until you come up at the little stream. Turn left here at the footpath. This one will take you back... 

Inside the cells

Inside the cells, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  In both cells there were these kind of toilets. Though this one was the more elaborated one. 

The jail cellars

The jail cellars, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  Underneath theMarie there are also 2 vaulted cellars that were used as jails. Very damp places and even though it was very clear outside we needed light here. It must have been aweful in the days it was used as jail. In the cells you can also see the holes that were the... 

The interconnected cellars

The interconnected cellars, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  In the earlier days of castelmoron dAlbret the cellars were connected. That way people could more easily defend the village. On the picture you can see the old doorway behind the stairs. 

The defense cellars

The defense cellars, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  Enter the Mairie and ask if you can see the cellars. It isn't indicated as a thing you can see or visit but if you ask for it, they'll probably show them to you. Apart from being a defense work, the cellars have been used as jails and i have to admit i felt sorry for the...

The Mairie, Castelmoron-d'Albret

 Mique Says:  There is no tourist information office in Castelmoron. But head for the Mairie. There they'll give you a village walk that you can do. I'm not sure they'll have one in english but i wouldn't be surprised. The Mairie is next to the old pottery that is housed in the old...
