If one wishes to travel from the main Ariege valley to Caussou, one will pass by Unac, a very nice little village partway up the mountains that define the main valley. Caussou sits a bit higher and off into its own, tributary valley. Just north of Caussou sits a small town that gives a direct view to the valley below. It is called Bestiat, and from there Unac looks like this:
The town is dominated by its church, though this picture doesn't show that very well:
This road is perhaps the one used by sisters Beatrice and Ava when they walked here to go to church and be seen in church by people other than their friends and neighbors in Caussou. The church is still pretty much as it was then:
The road between the two towns today has some water running across it. 700 years ago it was probably a muddy mess. The locals no doubt wore boots to walk any distance at all, and carried their Sunday shoes in a bag?
Unac plays a minor part in the story of Beatrice, but it is a nice place anyway.
