In Ariège: Ax-les-Thermes, Les Cabannes, Tarascon-sur-Ariège, Montgailhard, Foix, Varilhes, Pamiers, Saverdun.
In Haute-Garonne: Cintegabelle, Auterive, Pinsaguel.

Its longest tributaries are the Hers-Vif and the Lèze. It flows into the Garonne in Portet-sur-Garonne, south of Toulouse.^[1] Taken literally, the Latin origin of the river's name, Aurigera, indicates it to be a source of gold.
