La croix de L’Espérès

In 1800, a new commune called L’Espérès or Lespérès or Lespériès appeared on the territory of Poucharramet. This commune was abolished between 1802 and 1804. L’Espérès was definitively attached to Rieumes by royal decree on 6 May 1836. Under the Ancien Régime, L’Espérès did not appear as a parish in the diocese of Lombez and its inhabitants were recorded in the parish registers of Poucharramet. However, a place called “Le Fort” appears on the land register.
