Bascons is a commune in the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. The Vascons settled in Aquitaine in the 6th century. It is likely that the village of Bascons owes its name to them. According to legend, Saint Amand, a Merovingian evangelist, performed miracles around 670, which led to the construction of a chapel near a well that attracted pilgrims seeking its healing waters. During the Middle Ages, Bascons served as the seat of the cour dels Sers, a court of justice for the Viscounty of Marsan, and the reputation of the fortified castle grew stronger. The Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion took a toll on the small town, causing it to lose its significance. More information...
