Culture
The Church of Saint-Pierre de Lacépède was rebuilt in the first half of the 16th century. It houses a statue of the Virgin and Child protected as a historic monument; the projecting lean-to roof portico dates from the late 18th century.
In the village centre, the Lavoir de Lacépède has the traditional form of a washhouse. The village of Lacépède comprises adjoining houses and farmsteads with communally used agricultural areas dating from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Métier à ferrer of Lacépède was restored by the municipality. A farrier used the Métier à ferrer to restrain cows, oxen and difficult horses while shoeing them.
Nature
Below Lacépède, paths run alongside orchards with Ente plums and hazel bushes. The landscape around Lacépède is hilly and characterised by vineyards and pastures where Blonde d’Aquitaine cattle are kept.
Below the village, paths lead to Lac du Salabert, whose peaceful shores are suitable for walking. At the Maison de la Nature, visitors can learn about the fauna and flora of Lac du Salabert. Lacépède is considered a place with a preserved ecosystem.
