geography
Devèze is located on the northeastern edge of the Lannemezan plateau , about 45 kilometers east of Tarbes and 45 kilometers south of Auch . The 5.05 km² community extends in the valley of the Cier , a tributary of the Gers, and over the surrounding hills. In the northeast of the municipality, the highest point is reached at 422 m above sea level. In the north, the Canal de l'Arrat meanders along the mountain flanks at 380 m above sea level. It is an almost 50-kilometer branch canal that branches off water from the Neste River and endows the Arrat River , which has too little water in summer. The river valley of the Cier forms a fertile arable and pasture landscape. In addition to the remains of alluvial forest on the banks of the Cier, there are large forest areas in the west and north-east of the municipality. Devèze includes the hamlets of Le Plan, Garrautou, Bouhue, Desprat, Lefèvre, Roucaud, Corraze, Le Dauphin, Arné, Les Bourdettes, Monlong, Terrade and Sabatier . Devèze is surrounded by the neighboring communities Betbèze in the north, Lalanne in the east, Pouy in the southeast, Villemur in the south, Monléon-Magnoac in the southwest and Aries-Espénan in the west.
Place name
The original Gascon name Devesa comes from the Latin defensa and translates as closed grazing . The village first appeared in a document in 1383 under the Latin name Devesia . The name developed over de Vezia (1405) and Devessia in the later 15th century to Deveze on a Cassini card of the late 18th century, before the spelling Devèze was established from 1801 , which has proven to be permanent to this day.
