Villeneuve-Lécussan walks

The Lande de Franquevielle marks the end of the Lannemezan plateau and overlooks the Garonne valley, a river that flows from Spain. This village was part of one of the five former châtelleries of Nébouzan, the Châtellerie de Saint-Plancart. The church proudly bears the French motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity), a rare inscription on a church. All that remains of the castle known as "Boussost" are a few metres of foundations near the town hall, and the church bell tower is thought to be an ancient tower. There are two picnic areas.
