Barrows that were discovered in the municipality show an early settlement of the area. These are mainly located along the ancient road that led from the Chalosse, a stretch of land in the southern part of what is now the Landes department , to Saint-Pé-de-Bigorre . Funerary urns were found in these graves. In the Middle Ages there was a lay monastery in the village. The abbot and the landlord of Ribarrouy fought for a long time to claim all or part of the tithe for themselves. The abbot Jacques de Trescens was finally granted the right to the basic rule under the condition in the 17th century that he the fealty against the sovereign swear by Béarn.

Attractions

Parish Church of Saint-Germain-d'Auxerre
  • Parish church, consecrated to Germanus of Auxerre . From the original church, built in the 12th century, only the general structure and the stone altar remain due to extensive renovations in the 16th and 17th centuries . A project to restore the timbers was carried out in 1867. The roof of the church is covered with interlocking tiles. This points to a restoration of the roof in the second half of the 19th century, as this type of roof tile was only produced since then. The single-nave nave of the current building is closed off to the west with a bell gable. The gilded tabernacle is probably made of chestnut wood and decorated with four serpentine columns in its corners. It is similar to the tabernacle in Castetpugon . The large painting in the background measures 1.88 m high and 1.91 cm wide. It shows Christ crucified with John the Baptist and Germanus of Auxerre on both sides. Many other furnishings inside the church date from the 17th to 19th centuries and are registered as national cultural assets.
