History

The brook, Brioulette, limiting in the east the commune, which, to the West, plunges abruptly towards the valleys of Gabas and Arriutort. The high position of Boueilh, makes it possible to admire top of the bell-tower terrace of its church, a panorama of 30 km to the round, towards the Moors and the Yrénées-Atlantiques. The common one was formed in 1840 by the meeting of the 3 villages. However this union is at the very least particular: each village having kept a long time a kind of independence and operations distinct. Each one has its church where the Sunday mass is celebrated in turn. Image Example

The origin of the first 2 names would have a bond with “the ox cattle shed”. Lasque would be rather of origin ligure and would mean “above the brook”.

These 3 villages were attached truly to Béarn only of 1240 to 1452, date from which they were annexed to the kingdom of France. Point advanced towards Chalosse, the exchanges are done indifferently towards the Moors or Béarn.
