I have found a town called Vic-en-Bigorre that is in the Department of Gers. Gers and Hautes-Pyrenees are next to each other so this town is probably the correct one. There is a large town nearby called Pau. I recall reading about this town in regard to Basque separatist. The location is right to be heavily Basque. So there might be something to the old Fourroux family rumor that we have Basque blood in us. I hope this will help you in your research in France.
