Toponymy: The name of Caussade comes from Occitan Caussada, a word whose French equivalent is "chaussée", from the Latin low "calciata". This word designates a road built of very compacted stones, of "calciare", better known in the sense of "arranged road". Caussade would mean "road" or "grouping of alleys, paved paths", so a place of habitat. This name of place has also given birth to a particular species of hens in the southwest and especially in the Tarn-et-Garonne. This variety, a good layer with fine flesh is called "Gascon" or "Bearnaise".
