Geography
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Arnave is situated in the Pyrenees and is served by Highway D20. The town sits in a deep valley between mountain peaks, the tallest of which is Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level.
Arnave was built on the banks of a stream by the same name. The source of this stream is at an approximate altitude of Script error: No such module "convert"., at the foot of Mount Fourcat Script error: No such module "convert".. It is fed by two other streams, the Ruisseau de la Sécaille and, further downstream, the Ruisseau de la Montagne. The former descends by way of Cazenave-Serres-et-Allens and its source is at Script error: No such module "convert". the base of le Pic du Han (Script error: No such module "convert".). The source of the latter is further to the north and on the other side of the Cazenave mountain, at the Lauzate peak. The Arnave stream is also fed by other smaller streams and springs. The Arnave stream itself empties into the river Ariège four kilometres downstream from the town of Arnave, at the site of Bompas, Ariège.
The Arnave stream winds through high valleys with many waterfalls, some of which are impressive. One in particular is known as "la poêle" (the "stovetop" or "frying pan") for its being difficult to access.

Sites and monuments
The Chapel Saint-Paul d'Arnave is an example of Romanesque Architecture and is considered one of the oldest in the department. The building dates to the 10th and 11th centuries. Jules d'Ancelin, the baron of Labaume, is interred here. The chapel was part of the Labaume Barony until the mid-20th century, when it was ceded to the town for restoration. The site is also known for its black stone, believed to cure "Haut-Mal", or epilepsy, when the afflicted sleeps an entire night with his head beneath it. The site was a longtime pilgrimage destination thanks to legends of miraculous cures.
A gypsum quarry from the last century is known for anhydrite specimens.[2]
