Discover Tourdun

Set on hills above the Bouès Valley, Tourdun combines a connection to the landscape with culture and outdoor activities. Highlights include a listed natural area on the municipality’s southern boundary, a historic statue in the church, a hiking route and group classes. This mix provides a practical basis for choosing your destination.

The landscape around Tourdun

Tourdun is set on hills above the Bouès Valley. To the south, a listed natural area around Lac de Marciac meets the municipal boundary. This brings together two distinct landscape features: the hills describe the town’s position above the valley, while the natural area lies along its southern boundary. This distinction is useful when choosing a destination and weighing Tourdun’s topographic setting against a protected natural area nearby. Both features give the destination a landscape context, though they serve different geographic roles.

The “Vierge à l'Enfant” statue

The “Vierge à l'Enfant” statue is located in Tourdun’s church. The French name means the Virgin and Child. The work dates from the late 15th or early 16th century and was classified as a protected object on 15 May 1968. The two dates serve different purposes: the first places the statue’s creation in context, while the second dates its later protected status. For travellers interested in art and history, this timeline makes the work a tangible cultural landmark in Tourdun. It connects a single object with a historical period and a precisely dated protection status.

Hiking and discovering villages

The “Le circuit des côteaux” hiking route takes you to discover the villages of Juillac and Tourdun. It is linked to both places: Tourdun is part of the route, and Juillac is also named as a village to discover. If you want to combine being active with discovering places, you can consider the hike as a reason for your trip in its own right. Unlike the statue in the church, the focus here is on a hike featuring two named villages.

Group classes at ACUNCA

ACUNCA offers group classes for physical fitness. The focus here is on exercising in a group, whereas the hike is an outdoor activity linked to Juillac and Tourdun. The two options differ both in the type of activity and in their connection to specific places. Consider whether a group class or discovering the villages on foot matters more to you during your trip. As operational details may change, check with ACUNCA in advance for its current class offerings.
