Culture
After an almost complete reconstruction in the 19th century, the Église Saint-Étienne d'Uchacq preserves elements dating from the 12th century. Its interior is decorated with neoclassical murals created by Louis-Anselme Longa in 1854. The church is subject to mixed heritage protection. Its portal was classified as a historic monument by decree of 5 January 1946; the unclassified parts of the building were registered by decree of 2 April 2004.
The Église Saint-Laurent de Parentis features architecture typical of fortified Romanesque churches. Its square tower, crowned with battlements, preserves loopholes; a walkway runs beneath its roof.
An Iron Age necropolis, various artefacts and ceramics were discovered near Birbe. La grange was a former relay station on the Way of Saint James.
Nature
The Site de l'Estrigon and its forest offer a walk among ferns and primroses, as well as opportunities to observe roe deer, red deer and squirrels. The wet gallery there has particularly rich flora and fauna, which stands out from the seemingly monotonous surrounding pine landscape.
