Le Caunil is a hamlet in the Aude department of the Occitanie region in France. It forms part of the commune of Salvezines.
Geography
[edit]Le Caunil is situated at 850 metres above sea level, on the slopes of the Pyrenees above Salvezines and a few kilometres south-west of Château de Puilaurens, one of the famous Cathar castles dotting the region. The hamlet lies beneath a set of craggy cliffs and a forested plateau, and is a point of departure for the Forêt d'en Malo hiking trail.
Le Caunil has a small church as well as a school that is no longer in use.
The area between Le Caunil and Salvezines has significant deposits of feldspar,[1] a raw material used for the ceramic industry, which has previously been mined from open quarries.
History
[edit]In the 10th century, the church in Le Caunil was under the authority of the nearby Abbey of Saint-Martin-Lys.[2]
Population
[edit]In 2021, the Municipality of Salvezines (including Le Caunil) had a population of 70.[3] There are several artisans with workshops in Le Caunil and the surrounding area.
