Spring in Coteaux Béarn Madiran

Ready for a spring getaway?

Ah, spring! The sun is making a comeback! The days are getting longer, and the light is getting softer and warmer. It’s the perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy the outdoors and recharge your batteries. It’s the season of renewal, when nature comes back to life and offers us enchanting landscapes.

By the way, when is spring? From March 20 to June 20.

Nature break

Witness the awakening of nature and stroll through the garden of castle of Viven, which has been awarded the “Remarkable Garden” label. Be curious and chat with Mickäel from Morlanne’s experimental epicurean garden.

Try to spot the European pond terrapin on the banks of the Arlas river in Serres-Castet. Discover the diversity of flora and fauna in the Vallon du Manas in Ger, the wet moorlands of the Bois de la Seube in Mazerolles or the Loumagne wetland in Garlin, via interpretation trails.

From mid-April to the end of June, the brightly-colored wild orchids dotting the Vic-Bilh hillsides are a feast for the eyes! During your walk, observe and have fun recognizing them thanks to the interpretation panels at Lespielle and Castetpugon.
