Tips from the Community

William Kramps
October 14, 2025, Arènes de Begaar

Most of the Landes arenas were built towards the end of the 19th century. However, some arenas, like this one in Bégaar, were built specifically for the summer season with a wooden frame. Most arenas host the Landes bullfights. During these races, the bullfighters dodge the cow in the center of the ring at the last moment. The jumpers perform jumps over the cow. During local festivals, bullfighting games (bullfighting) are also organized, as well as cockade competitions where bullfighters must tear a piece of cloth from between the cow's horns. In larger arenas, bullfights or novilladas take place. Types: Small rural heritage Source: https://www.tourismelandes.com/patrimoine-culturel/les-arenes-pcuaqu040fs000dg/

Several improvements have been made to the crossing of the Saint Pierre du Mont nautical base: The step at the entrance to the area on the east side (Mont de Marsan) has been rectified: a stabilized inclined section has been created. At the level of the swimming lake, the route has been modified: it is no longer necessary to go around the swimming area and venture onto the initial chaotic "single". You can now reach the west exit (Dax side) directly - while keeping your bike in hand. The signage has been updated. The crossing, however, remains unsuitable for bikes with thin tires.

The Arena is located in Pontonx-sur-l'Adour, a municipality located in the French department of Landes, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The construction dates back to 1912 when the old wooden structure was replaced by a concrete one. In the 1930s it was renovated in Hispano-Moorish style. The Arena is dedicated exclusively to "Landes racing" practiced mainly in the French departments of Landes and Gers. It is a bullfighting tradition that belongs to the intangible cultural heritage of Gascony.

In addition to his spiritual commitment as a pastor, he is known above all for his charitable work, for which he also founded communities dedicated to caring in various places.

Many churches in France are dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Their title is usually "Notre-Dame", which translates into English as "Our Lady". Sometimes the church's patronal title also includes a description of the Marian feast day on which the consecration took place, such as "de-l'Assomption" or "de-l'Annonciation".
