Baliros is located on the left bank of the Gave de Pau river in the Adour catchment . The place is crossed by the Luz , the Canal de l'Escourre and the Gest, which flows into the Luz in the local area.
history
Paul Raymond, archivist and historian of the 19th century, noted the census in 1385. In Baliros 11 households were counted and it was noted that the settlement was in the Bailliage of Pau. Further mentions are as Balliros ( copy book by Assat , 1515), Baliroos ( Reformation by Béarn, 1538) and Baliros on the map by Cassini 1750.
The foundation of the place could be related to a healing spring called houn deus coucuts . From the 14th to the 18th centuries, it attracted pilgrims seeking healing from people or animals that had been bitten by rabid animals. A chapel in honor of the apostle Simon Peter was built next to the spring , of which only ruins can be seen today. Another iron-containing source has been used in the past to provide relief from anemia . In the 18th century, the people of Baliros traded in the markets of neighboring towns with silicon-containing sand that was found in the communal forest.
Population development
After the peak in the 19th century with over 300 inhabitants, the number fell by half by the 1940s and has increased since then due to its location in the Pau catchment area.
