Canté is a small village of 200 inhabitants located in the northern department of the Ariège, 50 km south of Toulouse. It is built outside the high-traffic roads that are the RN 20 and secondary road that connects to Saverdun Muret. Much of homes is nestled at the confluence of the small valley carved by a stream and the alluvial plain of the Ariège. These hills on which were built houses are the slope of the first alluvial terrace of Ariège to the west lies the plateau of this terrace followed by a second terrace. *

Built in brick on the side of the little knoll where stood Fort Canté, it is a single nave with two side chapels. Son portail en briques est en arc brisé. Its portal is brick arch.
The octagonal bell tower, like Toulouse, half collapsed under a landslide. Under the sanctuary, vaulted crypt was the burial chapel of the family of Foix-Rabat.
