Aulus-les-Bains is a French commune in the Ariège department in the Midi-Pyrénées region of south-western France. The inhabitants of the commune are known as ''Aulusiens'' or ''Aulusiennes''.〔(Inhabitants of Ariège ) 〕 ==Geography== Aulus-les-Bains is located at the head of the Garbet river valley and beneath the Guzet-Neige ski resort some 35 km south-east of Saint-Girons and 25 km south-west of Tarascon-sur-Ariège at an altitude of 750 metres. Access to the commune is by the D8F road which branches from the D3 west of the commune and follows a tortuous route to the village before continuing by an even more tortuous route to join the D18 in the east. The D32 road comes from Ercé in the north to the village. The commune is mountainous and heavily forested with large areas in the south above the snow line.〔(Google Maps )〕 The village is best known for its thermal springs and spa complex. There are several ''Belle Époque'' buildings with some still offering hotel accommodation. The village is very popular in winter for skiing and in the summer for walking and cycling. The local beauty spot and waterfall, the ''Cascade d'Ars'', is a one hour walk from the village. Cyclists can climb the ''Col de Latrappe'' or the ''Col d'Agnes'' directly from the village. There are two holiday cottages: the ''Presbytère'' and the ''Goulue''. Other local amenities include a bar/café, a pizzeria/health food restaurant, a tobacconist, a mini supermarket, a post office, and a butcher shop. The ''Garbet'' river rises in the commune and gathers a very large number of tributaries in the commune as it flows north-west through the village to join the Salat north of Oust. There are numerous streams and ponds throughout the commune which all flow to join the Garbet.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aulus-les-Bains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
