Dove Festival to Bazas

Le 28/09/2024

In the Bazadais region, pigeon hunting is a time-honoured art practised every year from 15 September to 15 November, when the beautiful blue bird migrates through the region.

For a number of years now, a special event has been devoted to this sport, staged by the “Confrérie des Paloumayres de Bazats”, the guardians of traditions in this field.
A hunt is re-enacted on the site of the “Confrérie des Paloumayres de Bazats”.

A hunt is re-enacted in the magnificent Cathedral Square. The trees, the hut, the vegetation, the ground: it’s all there! Half a day dedicated to the world of goshawks, perhaps better known outside Aquitaine as wood pigeons.
