BAREGES, a town of south-western France, in the department of
Hautes-Pyrenees, in the valley of the Bastan, 25 m. S.S.W. of
Bagneres-de-Bigorre by road. The town, which is situated at an altitude of
4040 ft., is hardly inhabited in the winter. It is celebrated for its warm
sulphurous springs (75deg to 111deg F.), which first became generally known
in 1675 when they were visited by Madame de Maintenon and the duke of
Maine, son of Louis XIV. The waters, which are used for drinking and in
baths, are efficacious in the treatment of wounds and ulcers and in cases
of scrofula, gout, skin diseases, &c. There is a military hospital, founded
in 1760. The town was formerly much exposed to avalanches and floods, which
are now less frequent owing to the construction of embankments and
replanting of the hillsides. It is a centre for mountain excursions. The
light silk and wool fabric called _barege_ takes its name from the place,
where it was first made.
