Aire-sur-l'Adour
Aire-sur-l’Adour lies along the Adour River, amid the gently rolling farmland of Gascony in southwestern France. This small market town occupies an old crossing point on the route south through the Landes and is a traditional stop on the Via Podiensis, one of the principal French routes of the Camino de Santiago. The Church of Sainte-Quitterie, with its Romanesque crypt, is among the town’s key heritage sites and belongs to the UNESCO-listed Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France. Fields, hedgerows and wooded rises extend beyond the centre, giving the Adour valley a settled rural character. Aire-sur-l’Adour also has a local aerodrome, reflecting the open terrain around town.
