Vic-Bilh
The Vic-Bilh is an area of Gascogne located on the reliefs pre Pyrénéen S inside the elbow of the River-Low Adour between and Tursan, vis-a-vis the Armagnac. Until the Revolution, its name is associated with the one of archidiaconés of the diocese of Lescar.
Indissociable with the Vineyard of Madiran (with horse on the departments of the Gers, the Hautes-Pyrénées and the Yrénées-Atlantiques), Vic-Bilh covers the North-East of the Béarn and thus of the Yrénées-Atlantiques, namely approximativment the cantons of Lembeye, Thèze and Garlin. One associates sometimes the to him Montanérès.
Its name, of Latin vicus vetullus , means “the old country” in Béarnais (delivery /bik bilj/, in French /vik bij/).
Its economy is mainly rural and the Viticulture holds to with it a choice place thanks to the names of controlled origins Madiran (red) and Pacherenc of Vic-Bilh (white).
