The Barousse is a small region of southwestern France, including the valley of the Ourse, a left tributary of the Garonne, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, and the smaller valley of Siradan. The main towns are Loures-Barousse and Mauleon-Barousse. ==Toponymy== Its name comes from the pre-Latin Gascon language ''Barroça'', which is based on the Basque language root ''ibar'' which means 'valley' and on a variant of the toponymic suffix ''-oç''. Others have seen its origin in the name of the ''Ourse'' river. The Basque language influence is clearly discernible in toponyms such as Ourse, Loures-Barousse, Izaourt, Sarp, Ourde, Esbareich, Sost, etc. Then the Romans left their marks with the names of estates such as Antichan and Samuran which eventually became villages. Finally, one can hear the Gascon language in the names Créchets (''small cliff''), Bramevaque (''mooing cow''), Troubat (''found''?) or Cazarilh (''small hamlet''). The name of Ilheu is also reminiscent of the valley of Ilhéou. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barousse valley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
