Quillan, Commune in Aude department, southern France

Quillan is a commune situated along the River Aude at the foothills of the Pyrenees between Carcassonne and Perpignan. The town spreads across the river valley, surrounded by rolling hills and mountain ridges that shape the local landscape.

The municipality underwent administrative consolidation in 2016 through a merger with the neighboring settlement of Brenac. This fusion reshaped the community's administrative and economic structure moving forward.

The Folklore Festival draws dancers and musicians from around the world to perform traditional shows in the town square each August. This gathering reflects the community's connection to regional cultural traditions.

The location benefits from regular train and bus connections to nearby cities, making it convenient to reach from major centers. The railway station sits on the Carcassonne-Rivesaltes line, facilitating easy travel throughout the region.

The local rugby club Union Sportive Quillan Haute Vallée claimed the French rugby championship during the 1928-1929 season. This sporting achievement brought recognition to the small community within French rugby circles of that era.
