Geography

It is located in the former High Ariege in the High County Foix, Sabarthès.

The valley opens to the northwest Vicdessos valley at Capoulet, and to the south it forms a large bowl. The valley has an average altitude of 810 metres (2,660 ft).

The limits of the Barony under the former regime were almost the same as those of today. During the revolutionary period the municipality escaped fragmentation.
