Tourist Guide
Bazas featuring heritage elements as well as a couple
An iconic cathedral in the heart of this old town signifies the rich religious and historical legacy of this area, which is full of churches, abbeys and castles.

The Bazadais region has heritage sites at every turn. Its center, the town of Bazas, possesses some of the most impressive. Tour the different monuments and landmarks of the old city and soak up the atmosphere of this historic location.

The town is located on the famous pilgrim trail of Santiago de Compostela. Many of the historic buildings, including the old hospital, were built to accommodate religious visitors to the city. Learn about prominent figures from church history, such as St. Bernard of Clairvaux, who lived in the Bazadais region.

Marvel at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Saint Jean Baptiste Cathedral in the center of Bazas. Outside, three Gothic arches featuring ornately detailed stonework stand over the main doors. Head inside and admire how the light pours through the stained-glass rose window.

Walk around the historic old town to see ancient ramparts and gates that once protected the city. Delve into the town’s past at the Municipal Museum of Bazas, which is located in the former town hall and features art and history exhibits. Elsewhere in town, the Apothecary Bazas documents medical history within the region and displays a collection of earthenware pots.

Leave the town center behind and explore the surrounding villages for more sites of religious interest. Nearby destinations include the Church of St. Vincent of Marimbault, St. Lawrence Chapel in Cudos and the Church of St. Vincent de Lignan-de-Bazas.

Get out in peaceful natural surroundings on the cycling and hiking routes in the countryside. Walking trails run along the Ciron River, while nearby Lake Prade is a choice spot for birdwatching.

Bazas is about an hour’s drive from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, which is served by regular flights to and from many major European cities. If you are traveling with a group of more than eight people, ask about city tours at the tourist office these offer expert insight on the region’s many historical attractions.
