The Fêtes de Geaune: Landaise racing passion at the heart of Tursan
The historic capital of Tursan, Geaune is a medieval bastide founded in 1318 that has retained its characteristic arcaded square and checkerboard layout. This charming village, nestled between the Chalosse hills and the Tursan vineyards, is also one of the main centers for Landaise racing in the Landes region. The Amis de la Course Landaise, a dynamic taurine club, passionately and skillfully keeps this tradition alive.
Landaise races: the heart of the festivities
The Geaune bullring hosts high-level Landaise races during the patronal festival in July and the Taurin Club Festival in October. These formal races, organized in collaboration with the French Federation of Landaise Racing, count towards the Challenge Landes-Béarn and the prestigious Boléro d'Argent. The best 'écarteurs' (dodgers) and 'sauteurs' (jumpers) of the season perform here, facing the racing cows of renowned breeders like Laurent Deyris. The presentation of the cuadrilla for the following season is a highlight of the October Taurin Club Festival.
The Taurin Club Festival: an autumn event
Held annually in October, the Taurin Club Festival brings together Landaise racing enthusiasts for a comprehensive program. A friendly meal is served at noon (Geaune salad, duck breast with mushroom sauce, dessert, wine, and coffee), followed at 3:30 PM by a formal Landaise race counting for the Boléro d'Argent. This event also provides an opportunity to present the new cuadrillas for the upcoming season, in an atmosphere of shared passion among aficionados.
July Patronal Festival
Geaune's patronal festival, held in early July, offers a festive program that combines taurine tradition and village conviviality. A Landaise race counting for the Challenge Landes-Béarn is scheduled for Sunday at 5 PM. The streets of the bastide come alive to the rhythm of the 'bandas', the brass bands of the Southwest that are the soul of Landes festivals. Popular dances keep the revelers dancing in the evenings, while the days are marked by traditional games and entertainment for the whole family.
Tursan Gastronomy and Conviviality
The Fêtes de Geaune are an opportunity to celebrate the gastronomic riches of Tursan. Tursan wine, a recognized local appellation, accompanies outdoor meals featuring duck breast, Geaune salad, and 'pastis landais'. 'Tourtière', a traditional Southwest pastry with apples, and 'croustade' complete a gastronomic panorama that honors the Tursan terroir.
