Bugarach, Rural commune in Aude, France
The village of Bugarach sits at the base of a 1,230-meter mountain peak, characterized by its geological formation of older rocks positioned above newer layers.
First documented in 889 AD as Villa Burgaragio, the settlement's name originates from Bugari, referring to Bulgarian Bogomils who established themselves in medieval France.
The village maintains its traditional character through regular community events, including Christmas festivals and markets showcasing local artisans and creators.
The municipal office provides administrative services on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10 AM to 12 PM, with contact available through phone or email.
The mountain of Bugarach attracted global attention in 2012 when prophecies designated it as the sole location that would survive an anticipated apocalyptic event.
