The cantons of France are territorial subdivisions of the French Republic's arrondissements and departments.
Aude is a department in south-central France named after the river Aude. The local council also calls the department "Cathar Country" after a group of religious dissidents active in the 12th century.
In the administrative divisions of France, the department is one of the three levels of government below the national level, between the administrative regions and the commune. Ninety-six departments are in metropolitan France, and five are overseas departments, which are also classified as regions. Departments are further subdivided into 334 arrondissements, themselves divided into cantons; the last two have no autonomy, and are used for the organisation of police, fire departments, and sometimes, elections.
