Abère (French pronunciation: [abɛʁ]; Béarnese: Avera) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in southwestern France.

Geography

Location

Abère is located some 22 km northeast of Pau and some 9 km northeast of Morlaas. The D7 road (Route de Vic) heading east from Saint-Jammes passes through the southern portion of the commune and continues to Baleix. Access to the village is by the Chemin de Lapoutge going north from the D7 for about 6 km. The Highway D207 coming south from Simacourbe forms the eastern boundary of the commune. The commune is mostly farmland with forests in the north and east^[3]

Hydrography

Located in the watershed of the Adour, the Grand Léez river forms the western border of the commune, with the Arriutort joining it at the northern tip of the commune and forming the northeastern border of the commune.

Toponymy

The name Abère was mentioned in the tenth century^[6] (according to Pierre de Marca^[7]) and appeared in the forms:

Oere and Bere (1385^[6] Census of Béarn^[8]),
Vere and Avere (1385^[9] Census of Morlaàs, but uncertain if it is the same locality^[9]),
Oeyre was mentioned in 1487^[6] Registry of Béarnais businesses.^[10]
Abere appears on the Cassini Map of 1750^[9]^[11] and in the 1790 map,^[12] Bulletin of Laws.

Michel Grosclaude^[9] proposed a Latin etymology of abellana or abella, derived from the Béarnais abera (according to Brigitte Jobbé-Duval.^[13]), which means "hazelnut" and by extension "the hazel copse"

The commune's name in Béarnais is Avera.

History

Paul Raymond^[6] noted that in 1385, there were 8 fires in Abère and that it depended on the bailiwick of Pau. A barony was created in 1672, a vassal of the Viscounts of Béarn. The commune was part of the Archdiocese of Vic-Bihl, which in turn depended on the Diocese of Lescar of which Lembeye was the capital.^[14]

Its Lay Abbey, ^[15] the house of Bosom d'Abadie is mentioned in 1385.
