history
Legend has it that Espéchède was founded by three brothers from Campan in Bigorre . When the parish was first mentioned in the 12th century, it was donated to the bishop of the Lescar diocese by Raymond d'Espéchède. Many landlords followed: Casso d'Espéchède, François de Nargassié de Meillon, Gaston de Lagarde, and finally the Belloc family in the 18th century. At that time, the communal pasture had been broken up into more than 500 parcels, causing some uproar among the population.
In the 1385 census of the Béarn four households were counted and it was noted that the village belongs to the Bailliage of Pau.

Attractions
- Parish church, dedicated to King Ludwig IX. of France, called Louis the Saint or Prud'homme . In the 19th century, the community found the previous church from the 14th century, which had been dependent on the Order of Malta at that time , as too small and dilapidated. It was demolished and work on the new building began in 1875 according to plans by the architects Loupot and Poeyarré. The floor plan of the long building has the shape of a Latin cross with a semicircular apse and a bell tower as an entrance porch. A number of the stained glass windows are the work of Mauméjean, a local stained glass company from Pau . Many furnishings from the 17th to 19th centuries are registered as national treasures, including a painting from the first half of the 17th century showing the Assumption of the Virgin Mary .
