During the large‐N MAUPASACQ passive seismic experiment in the foreland of the western Pyrenees (southwest France), an unusual swarm‐type seismic sequence was serendipitously recorded in a normally quiet area. Thanks to the density of the deployment and the proximity of all events, it was possible to relocate the hypocenters with a very good relative accuracy through template matching, cross‐correlation phase picks, and double‐difference algorithm. The four‐month seismic activity consists of more than 600 events with local magnitudes ranging between −1.4 and 2.1, clustered in an extremely small volume, and rooted at 4 km depth. The sequence can be divided in two phases of similar durations and event occurrence rates, but of different magnitude–frequency distributions. The presence of an asperity is suggested by the relative abundance of stronger events during the second phase. Fine mapping suggests a small but clear geographic offset of a few tens of meters between the events of the two phases and a very slow migration suggesting a process involving fluids. Changes in the correlation matrices and waveforms of late arrivals at a specific station are also observed, arguing either (and again) for migration of the hypocenters or for changes in the propagation medium between the two phases. The geographical coincidence with the repeated observation of hydrogen leaks on the surface, almost above the swarm, suggests a connection through channels that could carry fluids.
