Église Saint-Martin is open year-round for free visits in 2026. Check access details before your trip. Its furnishings and stained-glass windows offer specific points of reference for exploring different periods and works of art.

Église Saint-Martin: furnishings from several centuries

On its north and south sides, the church has two altars, two tiered structures and two tabernacles dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. The stained-glass windows were made by P. Arcancamde of Pau in 1919. This places furnishings from two centuries alongside windows with a specific year of origin. Those interested in sacred art will find different details here to look at individually during their visit.

Walking trail and wildlife observation at Lac d'Ayguelongue

At Lac d'Ayguelongue, exercise and nature observation offer different ways to spend your time. A 4.4-kilometre circular trail goes around the lake, and there is also a fitness trail. Observation huts make it possible to watch wildlife without disturbing it. You can therefore focus your time at the lake on the circular trail and exercise, or on quiet wildlife observation.

Lac d'Ayguelongue is an artificial lake covering 60 hectares. It is important for the animal and plant species that live there. This context complements the specific facilities at the lake: alongside the circular trail, fitness trail and observation huts, its habitat is also part of its character. This information helps you choose between an activity on the move and a focus on flora and fauna, without requiring you to combine the two into a fixed itinerary.

A route to Mazerolles Town Hall

The “Mazerolles: les Bénédictins” route leads to the bridge at the Moulin de Larreule on the Luy de Béarn, whose banks are protected. It then follows a dirt and gravel path to Mazerolles Town Hall. The description therefore names both a notable point on the river and the route’s destination. For navigation, the order is helpful: first the bridge, then the path to the town hall.

Le Pastis d'Amélie: history and production

In Mazerolles, Pierre founded a bakery in the 1920s, where Le Pastis d'Amélie became particularly well known. The cake’s history is therefore linked to a bakery from that period. The Le Pastis d'Amélie shop in Mazerolles offers the artisanal production of various cakes. Explanations of the production process are available by appointment; if you would like to experience it, arrange your visit in advance.

Wetlands in nearby Cescau

In Cescau, a village near Mazerolles, lie the Landes humides du bois de la Seube wetlands. Species found there include grass snakes, day-flying butterflies, Mediterranean tree frogs and great spotted woodpeckers. An educational trail with several information panels explores the local flora and fauna. Cescau thus offers a distinct nature-focused experience close to Mazerolles: the visit is about both the species mentioned and their place in the wetlands.

The attractions have distinctly different focuses: at Église Saint-Martin, the furnishings and stained-glass windows take centre stage; at Lac d'Ayguelongue, the circular trail and observation; and in Cescau, the wetlands and their educational trail. The “Mazerolles: les Bénédictins” route, in turn, links the bridge on the Luy de Béarn with the town hall. You can plan your visit around the specific subjects that interest you most.
