The Adour River defines the setting of Aire-sur-l’Adour — its course through the town concentrates streets, bridges and daily life along a compact centre in the cultivated plains of southwestern France. Once an episcopal city, Aire retains the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, a defining presence in its historic quarter. The town also stands on the Via Podiensis, one of France’s principal pilgrimage routes towards Santiago de Compostela. Sainte-Quitterie Church is included in UNESCO’s Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France listing, linking Aire to a long-distance network of travellers and religious heritage. The surrounding Landes countryside gives the town a distinctly Gascon, rural setting. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Nouvelle-Aquitaine connects regionally.
