    We are enchanted! We have just attended the Papogay festival and spent an unforgettable day. The soul of the village is revealed and everyone participates in costume with dance music, archery etc... It's hard to describe this extraordinary and exotic atmosphere, you have to come... Lisa and Arthur welcome you beautifully at the tourist office and very generously provide information and brochures! We, who come from Bayonne and its famous festivals, think it would be fair to spread this information: COME COME TO THE FESTIVITIES OF PAPOGAY (every year it is the 1st weekend of May)

    For the heritage weekend, we were lucky enough to have a guide from the tourist office who, with her explanations, allowed us to discover the hidden treasures of the city of Rieux Volvestre. Between its anecdotes and its details, History is pleasant to hear and it allowed us to enrich ourselves! Thank you for sharing your passion.
