Geography

A Street in Arrout

Arrout is a commune in the Pyrenees mountains in the former province of Couserans some 12 km south-west of Saint-Girons and 3 km north of Castillon-en-Couserans. Access to the commune is by a country road from the end of the D404, which comes from Cescau in the south-east, to the village or by the Chemin d'Arrout from Audressein in the south. There is also a country road from Alas in the north-east. The commune is rugged and heavily forested throughout.

The Lez river forms the south-eastern border of the commune as it flows north-east to join the Salat at Saint-Girons. The Cayssau stream rises in the north-west and forms the north-western border before joining the Ruisseau de Lachein. The Ruisseau de Lasquert rises in the centre of the commune and flows north-east to join the Ruisseau de Lachein which flows south-west to join the Lez.
