history
At the beginning of the 15th century, the village was abandoned by its residents. In 1600 it was owned by Jean de Montesquiou, landlord of Artagnan . An alder forest that has now disappeared was used by the inhabitants of the village in earlier times to produce charcoal . Between 1812 and 1978, the proportion of arable land in the municipality was increased at the expense of vineyards and forest.
