Lagrasse (French pronunciation: [laɡʁas] ⓘ; Occitan: La Grassa) is a commune in the Aude department in the Occitanie region of Southern France.
It lies in the valley of the River Orbieu, at the foot of the Pyrenees.
Lagrasse dates from the time the abbey was built.
The two highlights of the village are the eponymous Abbey[5] and the bridges, although the narrow medieval streets of the village itself are also very attractive, and remains of the town walls can still be seen.
The village is now home to numerous pottery workers and artists, and host numerous cultural and intellectual festivals such as "Le Banquet du Livre" and the "En Blanc et Noir: Festival International de Piano Robert Turnbull."
