Chalabre (French pronunciation: [ʃalabʁ] ; Languedocien: Eissalabra) is a commune in the Aude department in southern France.
The capital of the Quercorb region, it is a relatively unspoilt bastide with shady streets and quiet alleyways.
The local industry died out around 70 years ago, although the buildings of many still remain.
The road to Lac de Montbel runs through Chalabre and this brings a steady stream of visitors.
The local land is rich and verdant with fruit growing a speciality. The rivers rarely run dry and the climate is more amenable than the dry weather as you approach the coast.
