| Arreau |
The highest point in the municipality is the Monne Rouye ( 1759 m ).
The municipality extends to the slopes of the Campan valley, which is reached via the Col d'Aspin ( 1489 m ). The center of the municipality is at an altitude of ( 924 m ) off the road to the pass in a valley basin. For this reason, the municipality has never been able to benefit from the large flow of tourists attracted by the famous pass. In 1937, the department's committee, which is also responsible for natural sites, proposed the protection of the great passes of the route des Pyrénées , including the Aspin, the Col de Peyresourde , the Col du Tourmalet , the Col du Soulor and the Col d'Aubisque heard. The Col d'Aspin was classified as a natural site on January 2, 1943.
Aspin-Aure is located in the catchment areas of the Adour and Garonne rivers .
The Adour, also called Adour de Payolle in the upper reaches, rises in the western municipality of Aspin-Aure.
Tributaries of the nest have their source in Aspin-Aure:
- the Ruisseau d'Aspin, on the upper reaches Ruisseau de Bucheca, on the middle reaches Berlan, with its tributary,
- the Ruisseau de Soulas, also known as Ruisseau de Cos, and
- the Ruisseau de Meye Lègue.
In addition, two tributaries of the Ruisseau du Hourc arise on the northwestern part of the municipality, the Ruisseau de Coumelade and the Ruisseau du Mail.
history
The lordship over Aspin belonged to the Castelbajac, Durfort and Aspin families at the end of the 18th century. Around 1770 it came into the hands of Count Joseph d'Aspe, who resided in Auch , along with Fréchet-Aure and other places. His rights included jurisdiction and some taxes at the time. The village community has always lived from the management of its extensive, more than 600 hectare forests. Bernède, a hamlet in the municipality of Aspin, disappeared in the course of the plague epidemics in 1640–1650.
Toponymy
The Occitan name of the community is Aspin. There are two theories about the origin of the name. It could be derived from the French aubépine or from épine ( German thorn or hawthorn ) or from the Basque and Aquitanian asp ( German rock ), from which many toponyms in the Pyrenees have emerged.
The community's nickname is Eths lops ( German for the wolves ). The coat of arms of the municipality bears a wolf.
Toponyms and mentions of Aspin-Aure were:
- Lespin blanc (1300, rising of the king),
- De Spino (1387, Church Register des Comminges ),
- locum d'Aspii (1389, Larcher, Castelbajac),
- Aspin (1750, 1793 and 1801, map from Cassini , Notice Communale or Bulletin des lois ),
- Aspin-Aure (1957).
Population development
After the beginning of the records, the population rose to a high of 260 by the middle of the 19th century. In the following period the size of the community sank to around 40 inhabitants during short recovery phases until the turn of the millennium and has since stabilized at a level of around 50 inhabitants .

Attractions

Parish Church of Saint Martin
The parish was a branch of Arreau at the beginning of the 19th century and a vicar looked after the community. During a visit in December 1810, the pastor pointed out that the church was in very poor condition and that the roof and bell tower were in need of repair. In 1867 the church had become too small for the increased size of the parish and threatened to collapse. The local council called in the architect Jean-Jacques Latour from Tarbes to draw up construction plans for a new building that would be oriented to the south and not east due to the location of the site. The lack of funding, however, delayed the execution of the project and construction could not begin until 1876. Jean-Jacques Latour died in 1868. Therefore, the diocese's architect , Hyppolyte Louis Durand (1801-1882), directed the work using most of the designs of his predecessor. The furnishings ( glass windows , marble altar ) were installed between 1879 and 1880. The building was accepted in November 1882. The floor plan corresponds to a Latin cross , the single nave nave has a ribbed vault . The helmet of the bell tower is polygonal and covered with slate .
