The fictional town of Saint Volusien is based on the real town of Foix.
The founding, in 849, of the Abbey Saint-Volusien allowed the development of urban living in the tenth century to the twelfth century.
Geography
Saint Volusien is situated at the confluence of the Ariège and Arget rivers in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The town skyline is dominated by the half-finished castle being built on the ruins of an old Roman fort.
