history

As can be seen from the finds in the Le Noisetier grotto , the area of the municipality was already settled by Neanderthals in the Middle Paleolithic .

In the 18th century, the manor of the municipality belonged to the d'Aspe family. Around 1770 the seigneur was Count Joseph d'Aspe, landlord of Aspin, Fréchet and other villages. He resided in Auch . The building of the mayor's office and the school fell victim to a fire on the night of January 16-15, 1907.

Toponymy

The Occitan name of the community is Hereishet. It has its origin in the Latin fraxinus , which together with a suffix -etum means "place planted with ash trees".

A nickname of the inhabitants of the municipality is Eths sarnalhèrs ( German those who like to bask in the sun like lizards ), a reference to the sunny location. Two lizards are also depicted on the coat of arms.

Attractions

Parish Church of Saint-Saturnin. The church has its origins in the Romanesque in the 12th century. It consists of a single nave , a semicircular apse with a vaulted ceiling and a small bell gable with two recesses for the bells. In 1779 a large entrance portal was created on the north side . The entrance is framed with a gray marbled limestone. The door leaves are decorated with rod ornamentation. The sacristy probably also dates from the 18th century. In the 19th century the windows on the south side were enlarged.
