Morlanne

Morlanne is a medieval village that is now a thousand years old. Its origins date back to feudalism, but it was not until the Hundred Years War, and when Gaston Fébus chose Morlanne as a defensive bastion (because the English were very close to Arzacq) that the village was built.

The village is then made up of two agglomerations: one around the castle, the "castetbieilh", and the other around the church. Gaston Fébus will have the square of the Castle erected in order to control the population census. This part of the village is then called "castelnau". He will strengthen the village as well as the church, which will be an integral part of the defense of the village.
