Saint-Faust

Saint-Faust (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ fost]; Occitan: Sent Haust) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in south-western France.

[3] French historian Paul Raymond wrote that in 1385, Saint-Faust and its annex Laroin had 89 fires and depended on the bailiwick of Pau.

Monhauba is an old hamlet of Saint-Faust, destroyed in 1778 when the Gave de Pau river flooded.

[4] The town is part of the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) areas of Jurançon and Béarn for wine and that of Ossau-Iraty for cheese.
