Lacq (French pronunciation: ​[lak]; Occitan: Lac) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department in southwestern France.

It lies just northwest of the local capital of Pau.

Economy[]

In modern times the local economy has been based on the industrial use of subsurface petroleum reserves, and since 1951 on the extraction and development of a very large natural gas reservoir underneath the city. Processing of the large quantities of hydrogen sulfide in the gas have made Lacq a center of sulfur production.
