Monget is a French municipality with 91 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in the department of land in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine (before 2016: Aquitaine ). The municipality belongs to the arrondissement of Mont-de-Marsan and the canton of Chalosse Tursan (until 2015: canton of Hagetmau ).
The origin of the name comes for some from the Gascognischen word mounyéttes ( German land of beans ), for others it means "small mountain" due to the geographical location on a ridge between the rivers Luy de France and Ruisseau de la Rance. Most advocate the theory that the name was derived from the former Pontaut monastery , whose monks , lous mouynes , made use of the land they owned.
The inhabitants are called Mongétois and Mongétoises .
geography
Monget is located about 35 km south of Mont-de-Marsan in the Chalosse region of the historic province of Gascogne on the southern border with the neighboring Pyrénées-Atlantiques department .

Saint-Médard (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) |

Monget lies in the catchment area of the Adour River .
The Luy de France, a tributary of the Adour, irrigates the territory of the commune. Its tributaries, the Ruisseau Larritou and the Ruisseau de la Rance, flow into the Luy on the territory of the municipality.
history
The present village was founded during the Huguenot Wars , when Protestant families were driven from the heights of what is now the neighboring municipality of Mant in the north and had to settle on the other side of the Luy. A church and a cemetery were quickly grouped around a castle. In addition to the castle, there are three Béarn- style houses and a water mill below the center of the municipality. On the hill above the Rance river, a small pile of earth can be seen, which undoubtedly belonged to a small former Roman military camp . The municipality of Burgaux was incorporated between 1790 and 1794. The name of the community was now Monget et Burgaux.
Population development
After the records began, the population rose to a peak of 375 by the middle of the 19th century. In the following period, the size of the community fell to around 70 inhabitants during short recovery phases until the beginning of the 21st century, before a moderate growth phase began continues to this day.

Attractions
Parish Church of Saint-Jacques
The first church was located near a castle that was mentioned in the records in 1275 and has since disappeared. Today's house of God, consecrated to James the Elder , dates from a time after the Hundred Years War and therefore from the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century. The Gothic window in the longitudinal axis of the apse is the only element that allows this dating. The south side chapel and the sacristy were probably added in the 17th or 18th centuries. In 1892 the architect Baucous and the entrepreneur Cazaubon from Larreule built a bell tower over a porch. The building is primarily made of quarry stone from limestone and ferruginous sandstone , called Garluche . The nave with a main nave has a plaster ceiling and extends to the east into a choir of the same width. This is closed with three walls and is flanked to the north by the elongated sacristy and south by the side chapel. The central outer wall of the apse is supported on the sides by thick buttresses . It has a Gothic window with two lanes and a tracery worked out with a polychrome . The square bell tower in the west is crowned by a polygonal helmet , which is covered with slate .
Apart from a stone holy water font , the dating of which is problematic, and a tabernacle from the second half of the 17th century, together with two statuettes made of painted wood depicting Mary with the Child Jesus and James the Elder, the church has not preserved any older furnishings . The rest of the furniture is no older than the middle of the 19th century. The 44 cm and 45 cm tall figures were on the no longer existing wings of the tabernacle at the former main altar. Maria is dressed in a pleated robe with a belt at the waist, over it with a large cloak that is raised at the left hip, and a headscarf. She holds the baby Jesus in her arms, who is barely clothed. James the Elder, patron saint of the church and the community, has the traditional clothing of a pilgrim on the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela , a coat decorated with shells, a cross on a long necklace, a canteen on his belt and a pilgrim's staff in his right hand. Two glass windows are works by the glass painter Amédée Bergès from Toulouse from the second half of the 19th century. They show Saint Joseph with baby Jesus and James the elder with a pilgrim's staff.
Monget Castle
The castle is located in the center of the village that developed near it. Legends have been growing since the 16th century, one of which says that two Protestant soldiers who perished in the Huguenot Wars in 1569 have their final resting place under the stables. In 1694 the castle was inhabited by the Dambidan family from Crouseilles , as evidenced by a weather vane in the shape of an iris . After the property was confiscated by the National Convention during the French Revolution , the property fell into the hands of the Hourquerie family, then the Juncarot family. The extensive estate with several outbuildings has belonged to the same family since 1893 and is not open to the public.
Economy and Infrastructure
Agriculture, especially based on the cultivation of vegetables and maize, is the municipality's most important economic factor.
