Gueyze

Separated from the towns of Sos and Meylan by the stream of the same name and from the town of Ste Maure by the Gélise, Gueyze serves as the border with the Landes department. It is located about twenty-five kilometers from Nérac and Condom. Here we are on the edge of the immense Landes forest, on the border of the Lot-et-Garonne department. It is a new landscape that travelers discover as they leave the neighboring village of Sos, a landscape dominated by pine forests, which will remain with them until they reach the nearby ocean.

Extensive, it spreads its hectares of pine trees and moorland towards the west and north. One hundred and fifty-seven inhabitants for an area of two thousand two hundred and nineteen hectares. A few houses stretch along the departmental road.

We are in a region where scattered dwellings and farms or second homes built in the Landes style are dotted throughout the green countryside.

A little further away is the church, a remarkable Romanesque building constructed near a Gallo-Roman site, which preserves a beautiful collection of Romanesque capitals and modillions.

The quality of the environment, the tranquility, and the gentle landscapes have attracted many artists here. With 90% of its area covered in woodland and its first-class trout stream, it is a paradise for hunters, fishermen, and hikers.
