Conques-sur-Orbiel (in French pronounced as /kɔ̃k syʁ ɔʁbjɛl/; Occitan (post 1500);: Concas) is a commune in the Aude department in southern France.
About 2 km north of the town lies a chapel constructed in 1885 for property owner Camille Don de Cépian and designed by Gabriel Pasquier. The chapel is crumbling but was recently stabilized.[2]
In mid-October 2018, Villegailhenc, Conques-sur-Orbiel, and Villardonnel, and Trèbes, along with nearby areas along the river Aude, were devastated when the river flooded after intense rain. 12 people were killed, including a nun.[3] Natural deposits of high arsenic content were disturbed & spread by these flood waters, levels of 100 ug/L have been subsequently measured in affected areas.
