Saint-Girons, Administrative center in Ariège, France
Saint-Girons is a commune in the foothills of the Pyrenees in Ariège, situated in a valley between several rivers. The town sits at about 390 meters elevation and is shaped by the valleys of the Salat and Lez rivers.
The name comes from Girons of Hagetmau, who spread Christianity in the region during the early Middle Ages. The settlement developed over centuries as the local administrative center for the surrounding valleys.
The weekly market displays products from the Couserans region, from cheese to handcrafted goods offered by local producers. Visitors can experience daily life here and meet people from the area.
The town is easiest to explore on foot since key areas are close together. Visitors can find parking near the center and easily reach local shops and services from there.
