History
The municipality was created in 1820 when Lourdios (a neighbourhood of Osse-en-Aspe) was united with Ichère (a neighbourhood of Sarrance).[5]
In 2017 during the presidential election the town became known to the French public thanks to the candidate Jean Lassalle who had been the mayor for over 40 years.[4] During the first round he won the majority of the vote with 68.8% in his constituency. At the national level, Lassalle is less popular, receiving 1.5% of votes countrywide.
