  • Location: When borrows the provincial road 929, towards Masseube, Auch, we discover halfway Lannemezan and Castelnau-Magnoac, 12 kilometers from the capital of Canton, a very old and curious agglomeration . With 493 hectares of land at an altitude ranging between 525 and 592 meters seems like a village with particularity, its sparsely populated with its many neighborhoods, so-called Bernet, Cassagnaou, Cassoulet, Pied-du-Bois, the Moor with Hourmayou tucoos and his mound with a population of 154 inhabitants. The village is crossed by numerous creeks called from the Barn, the Courbatère, Gers, the Solle.
  • History of the Village: The origin of the town could go back to the Roman occupation, it cites the remains of tumuli and tucoos discovered under the ferns in the heath of Hourmayou, they even said that the first name given to these locations was Trajan, a tribute to Roman soldiers, their emperor Marcus Ulpius Trajanus born at Italica in 52 AD and died 117 to Selinon Celic. This etymology seems to have been preserved as a philosophical form established by Father Pépouey, we read the five names given throughout the centuries in the village Taien, Tayenne, Taian, and finally Tajan Tayan, spelling the there is a book terrier 1505. Another feature is less true in the Gela area, west side of the church of the seventeenth, 18th centuries, construction attributed to representatives of the order of the hospital, a terrace of 41 meters long, 20 meters high, 24 meters wide which has always puzzled archaeologists. Some see a large monument Druidic, a Roman camp or a castle.
