Geography[edit]
The town is situated on the Gave de Pau, a river running through the region, and some of the river's tributaries, including the streams of Lataillard, Espérance and Loulié. Puyoô neighbours the towns of Bellocq to the south-west and Ramous to the south-east.
Name[edit]
Puyoô is derived from the Bearnaise word Pujóu meaning small hill. Pujóu can be further derived from the Latin word podium, meaning height.[1]
People from the town are known in French as Puyolais.
Economy[edit]
The town's economy is generally agriculture-oriented.
Transport[edit]
The local railway station, Gare de Puyoô, opened in 1862. Today,[when?] it has approximately 10,300 passengers a year.
Culture[edit]
Puyoô has a rugby field and tennis courts, as well as a town hall. A community festival is held towards the end of June.
