Marciac

1 hr 5 from Tarbes. Stop: Chemin de ronde. The Jazz in Marciac Festival gets the village and local area buzzing in the 1st half of August.

This major event saw Marciac join the ranks of the Grands Sites Occitanie. Marciac is more about its year-round music and performing arts at L'Astrada than its history as a bastide town founded in 1298. That said, the historical main square is still a favourite meeting point in the village. Soak up the local lifestyle deep in the Saint-Mont vineyards. Places to eat and sleep on-site. Find out more.
