Discover Aubiet

When planning a trip to Aubiet, there are several distinct themes to explore: churches and historic objects, military history at the Musée d’Aubiet, and La Nourrice, a designed woodland garden. These highlights give your trip a clear focus. When looking for a hotel, first consider which of these themes interest you most and how you would like to spend your time in Aubiet.

Churches and historic objects in Aubiet

The Church of Saint Abdon and Sennen, also known as Notre Dame de Charité, was built in the 16th century. Its bell tower was completed in 1587. Another historic feature is “La Sourde,” a bronze bell from the 16th century. It is located in Aubiet’s parish church and is listed as a protected object. Aubiet’s baptismal font also has a specific date: it dates from 1685.

Aubiet brings together several historical points of interest: the church building, its dated bell tower, and individual objects with histories of their own. The years 1587 and 1685 add more precise dates to the general 16th-century context. If you are interested in cultural heritage, these different landmarks offer a reason to look beyond a single building.

Military history at the Musée d’Aubiet

The Musée d’Aubiet has collections relating to the First and Second World Wars. It also displays military aviation objects and an exhibition about the 1870 war. Its military history focus therefore includes collections on both world wars, aviation objects, and an exhibition on an earlier conflict. These topics offer different historical perspectives and a distinct way to explore Aubiet.

The exhibitions may change. If you are planning a museum visit, check beforehand which exhibition is on display. There is also a specific point of reference for planning your trip: the Musée d’Aubiet is about a 12-minute walk, or approximately 999 metres, from Aubiet station. Both figures are estimates; take local route conditions into account when planning your actual journey.

La Nourrice: woodland garden and design

La Nourrice adds another theme: it is an edible, habitable woodland garden and an original work by Olivier Nattes in Aubiet. The grounds include cultivation mounds inspired by permaculture methods. There is also a protective greenhouse surrounded by flowering meadows. Garden design, a protected growing area, and the meadow landscape are thus distinct elements of the site.

At La Nourrice, guided tours for individuals or groups are available by reservation. If you would like to include a tour in your stay, book in advance and confirm the arrangements before you arrive. A visit by reservation differs from simply taking in the garden’s themes: prior arrangements are part of planning a guided tour.

Plan your stay and find a hotel

The local attractions offer different ways to shape your trip: you can focus on church history and historic objects, the museum’s military history, or the design of La Nourrice. You could also combine them; plan according to which themes matter to you and whether you would like to include a guided tour that requires a reservation.

If the museum is part of your itinerary, use the approximate walking time from the station as a guide. If you are planning a guided tour at La Nourrice, remember to make the required reservation and confirm the arrangements before you arrive.
