Key #8: So Far, So Close, in Valence-sur-Baïse
60 steps to climb the church. 60 steps that connect Gascony and the Pyrenees. From the top of the belvedere, the majestic mountains will be there... or not!
“We see the Pyrenees when we least expect it”

The church is open during the day: enter and climb the bell tower through a small door on the left.

Before leaving, get the "Travel Map in our Landscapes", essential for finding the 15 unusual places, available in the Tourist Offices of Condom or Montreal.
