Ste-Colombe-sur-Guette, Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

A privileged location

Founded at the confluence of the waters of the Ayguette and the Bailleurs stream, the village enjoys a privileged position for its defence and control of communications between the Aude Valley and Roquefortez. It is surrounded by the magnificent Resclause forest, which stretches across a vast plateau at altitudes of between 1,000 m and 1,300 m.

The church, a superb nineteenth-century building, has an eighteenth-century carved wooden high altar and eighteenth-century painted and gilded statues of the Virgin and Child and Saint John.
Crafts and industry in the past

In the past, there were boxwood and horn comb factories, hammer mills, saw and flour mills and, above all, forges, which have existed here since the 14th century. There were also slate quarries, used for roofing houses, and iron ore mines. The village also exploited large deposits of dolomite in open-cast quarries, revealing the presence of secondary limestone rocks. Dolomite was processed at the Saint-Martin-Lys plant, which has now been dismantled.
