Village de Lannepax

Lannepax, in Gascon Lannapatz, would mean "land of peace" where Crassus, Caesar's lieutenant, received the submission of the Aquitaine people around 56 BC. AD
The proximity of English Aquitaine and the crossing of the Bordeaux-Toulouse Roman road encouraged the counts of Armagnac to create a new town there around 1290. Walls and ditches, the remains of which remain, are still visible. After the Hundred Years' War, in 1453, the Bastide was rebuilt, from this time the village retains many houses with their half-timberings or their "embans".
The locality depends successively on the counts of Armagnac, the kings of Navarre and the king of France from Henri IV.
At the end of the 1580th century, Lannepax had XNUMX inhabitants. Then the phylloxera crisis weakened the local economy.
Today, Lannepax is the domain of vines and cereals and the reputation of its Armagnac goes back a long way.
