Ossun, a Gascon village between plain and mountain

Ossun is a commune of nearly 2,400 inhabitants located about ten kilometers southwest of Tarbes, within the Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées urban community. Its name derives from the Gascon word 'Aüssu' (bear), an animal that appears on the commune's coat of arms, recalling its Gascon origins and values of courage and strength. The village has a railway station offering connections to Bayonne, Bordeaux, Tarbes and Pau. Its territory of 27.6 km² offers a varied landscape between agricultural plain and panoramic views of the Pyrenean chain.
