Oust, Mountain commune in Ariège, France
Oust is a small commune in the Couserans region of southwestern France, nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The village spreads across rolling terrain with woodland and open farmland, where traditional houses sit scattered among green valleys.
The area has been settled since medieval times, as shown by the ruins of Château de Mirabat from the 14th century, which once spanned across several neighboring communes. The church received official protection as a historical monument in the 20th century, marking the region's religious heritage.
The church of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Vic shapes the village with its religious and architectural presence, showing how faith has anchored community life here for centuries. Walking around it reveals local stone construction methods and the care people invested in their spiritual center.
The commune sits in an area with good walking trails and is accessible by local roads that can be winding and steep. Visitors should check with the local town hall for information about sights or events in the area.
The area contains four distinct natural zones of ecological interest and forms part of the Pyrénées Ariégeoises Regional Natural Park. This diversity makes it a place for nature lovers who want to explore mountain landscapes in their natural state.
