Le Burgaud, whose name recalls the heather covering old territory, is a rural town where form the first hills of Gascony.
It offers unspoiled landscapes and charming, with lots of wood suitable for walking. They found traces of six Gallo-Roman villas on the territory of the village.
But it was only in 1124 that the village is truly created thanks to Bertrand Cobirac Lord who gives this land to the Knights of St John of Jerusalem who hold a command post until 1789. The village is then fortified picked up around the church and the stronghold of the Commanders.
