Nabas
Aroue-Ithorots-Olhaïby Neighboring communities Charre

Lichos is located in the catchment area of ​​the Adour River . The Saison , a tributary of the Gave d'Oloron , marks the eastern border with the neighboring municipality of Charre. The Borlaas, one of its tributaries, crosses the area of ​​the municipality and flows into the season there.

history

The finds of coins and the foundations of a bridge, which date from the Gallo-Roman period , prove the settlement of the municipality in ancient times . The birth of St. Gratus, the first bishop of the Diocese of Oloron , in the fifth century quickly made the village famous. His birthplace at the entrance to the village was the destination of pilgrimages for several centuries. The saint was invoked in particular to ask for protection against hail. The custom called for ducks to be sacrificed on stormy nights and nailed to the doors of houses. The census in the Béarn in 1385 counted 20 households in Lichos and the associated Haute, today part of the neighboring municipality of Charre, and it was noted that the place belonged to the Bailliage of Sauveterre . The Via Podiensis , one of the four historic St. James' Ways to Santiago de Compostela , has run through Lichos since the Middle Ages . In the 16th century, Lichos, Charre and Haut formed a single community. Like many parishes in Béarn, Lichos suffered from the Huguenot Wars , to which the parish church of Lichos fell victim in 1569.
