The Église Notre-Dame, the Circuit du Bongoat, the Allée d'ifs de Pedordel and the Ferme Ty Lipous offer a range of themes: architectural history, hiking, a landscaped yew grove, and animals and yogurt-making. If you are looking for a hotel in Moustéru, this mix of themes can be a useful starting point for planning your trip. Consider whether architecture, landscape or insights into farming should be a particular focus of your stay.
A church with features dating from several centuries
At the Église Notre-Dame, the bell tower and west façade date from the 16th century, while the nave dates from the 18th century. Its construction history is therefore spread across different parts, rather than having a single date of origin for the entire church. Outside, next to a south-facing window, there is a holy-water stoup. According to tradition, lepers stood there to follow services from outside. The bell tower was listed by decree on December 7, 1925. Different historical perspectives come together here: the church's features can be dated, while the stoup is linked to a tradition about attending services from outside. Architecture and tradition thus provide two distinct ways to explore the church.
Explore the trails and landscape
The Circuit du Bongoat is an easy, yellow-marked 8.3-kilometre walking trail in Moustéru. It starts at the town hall car park. Its length, difficulty rating and starting point give you specific information to help fit the walk into your day’s plans. The yellow markings are another feature to look out for when finding your way. Before setting out, check local conditions and follow the signs on site.
The Chemin du Buis has a different character: this trail passes through woodland and has an especially high concentration of boxwood. It is considered a remnant of a Roman settlement. On the Circuit du Bongoat, the focus is on distance, difficulty and trail markings; on the Chemin du Buis, it is on the woodland path, the boxwood and its possible historical interpretation. The two trails therefore offer different points of interest, from practical route planning to connections with the landscape and history.
The yews of the Allée de Pedordel
At the Allée d'ifs de Pedordel, the layout of the grove takes centre stage: 90 yew trees have been planted in a geometric arrangement to form the shape of a ship. They have been classified as “Arbres Remarquables” since 2006. The number of trees, their arrangement and the ship shape give this landscape feature a distinctive and unusual character. Those interested in carefully designed groups of trees will find a different focus here than on the woodland trails: rather than a walking route, it is the geometric layout that defines the impression of the yew avenue.
Animals and yogurt-making at the Ferme Ty Lipous
The Ferme Ty Lipous offers two different ways to learn about life on a farm. Visitors can get to know a variety of farm animals on a self-guided sensory trail. Guided tours, meanwhile, offer an insight into how Ty Lipous yogurts are made. The activities differ both in subject and format: one lets you explore a trail independently and encounter animals, while the other focuses on a guided tour of yogurt-making. If you would like to include farming and food production in your trip, you can choose between these two experiences. Opening periods are seasonal, so check current visitor information before your visit.
