Cintegabelle

Article summary

Cintegabelle ( ; , ) is a commune in the Haute-Garonne department in southwestern France. Historically and culturally, the commune is in the Aganaguès region or Ariège plain, sometimes called lower Ariège, or Ariège foothills. Exposed to an altered oceanic climate, it is mainly drained by the Ariège River and its tributary, the Hers, which flows into the Ariège within its boundaries. Various small rivers irrigate the commune, such as the Galage, the Jade, the Calers stream, the Aure de Canté, the Cornus stream, and the Palanquelle stream. The commune boasts a remarkable natural heritage: a Natura 2000 site ("Garonne, Ariège, Hers, Salat, Pique, and Neste"), a protected area ("Garonne, Ariège, Hers Vif, and Salat"), and six natural areas of ecological, faunal, and floristic interest. Cintegabelle is a rural commune with 2,994 inhabitants in 2022, having experienced a significant population increase since 1975. It is part of the Toulouse catchment area. Its inhabitants are called Cintegabellois ( ) or Cintegabelloises ( ).
