Cordes-sur-Ciel, Medieval administrative division in southern region of Tarn, France.
The municipality of Cordes-sur-Ciel stands at an elevation between 159 and 320 meters, overlooking the Cérou River valley in the Occitanie region.
Founded in 1222 by Count Raymond VII of Toulouse, this fortified settlement served as a refuge for populations displaced during the Albigensian Crusade.
The municipal administration organizes regular events at the Maison Fonpeyrouse, maintaining traditions through exhibitions and community gatherings throughout the year.
The main administrative services, including the town hall and municipal offices, operate from 34 Grand'rue Raimond-VII, offering assistance to residents and visitors.
After centuries as simply Cordes, the administration changed the town's name to Cordes-sur-Ciel in 1993 to reflect its position high above the valley.
