Puimisson

Puimisson (French pronunciation: [pɥimisɔ̃]; Occitan: Puègmiçon) is a commune in the Hérault department in the Occitanie region in southern France.

Attested in the forms ad Podio Mincione in 1097, castrum Podio Missionis around 1182, ad Podium Mucionem in 1183, castro Podiimisonis in 1210, Podio Micione in 1247 and 1248, Puimisson in 1529.

From the Late Latin podium "height" and the Roman surname Mintionius.

Until the beginning of the 21st century, the village's population remained highly concentrated around its old castle. The main inhabited places are located to the southeast of the village:

- Les Charmettes and Le Cayron, sandwiched between the D 909 to the west and Le Libron to the east;

- Sainte-Suzanne, further south and overlooking the D 909.
