Abstract: [fre] Résumé Les cagots forment une petite minorité marginale, dispersée dans tout le sud-ouest de la Gascogne, là ils atteignent, au plus, 2 % de population. Au moins en Béarn, leur augmente sensiblement au XVIème siècle ; des migrations les conduisent jusque dans les de la Garonne et de l'Ebre. Les recherches sur les groupes de Vic-Fézensac et Bordeaux montrent qu'en dépit de leur afflux, le milieu marginal des cagots s'effiloche, sans doute assimilation. [eng] Abstract The cagots are a little endogamic minority scattered all over the south western Gascony, where it reachs about 2% of the whole population. There, at least in Beam, the number of the cagots grows markedly in the XVIth century ; migrants go toward the valleys of garonne and Ebra, at the very fringe of this diaspora. The researchs on the groups of Vic-Fézensac and Bordeaux show that, in spite of these new comers, the marginal circle of the cagots was narrowing, by assimilation perhaps.
