Cucugnan, Rural commune in Aude, France

The village lies within the Corbières Massif valley at 218 meters elevation, with stone buildings stretching along narrow streets beneath limestone cliffs.

The settlement, first documented as Cucuniano in 951, was gifted by Roger I, Count of Carcassonne, to the Abbey of Lagrasse.

The 14th-century church of Saint Julien and Saint Basilissa contains a wooden statue depicting a pregnant Virgin Mary, different from standard representations.

The Moulin d'Omer, restored in 2003, functions as an active mill producing flour from local grains for regional bread production.

The village features in Alphonse Daudet's 1869 story collection 'Letters from My Windmill' through the tale 'The Priest of Cucugnan'.
