Geography
Localization
Branoux is located near the mountain la Baraque, and close to the D32 road, on a relatively flat place called la Plaine. Les Taillades is an extension due to the demographic boom caused by the influx of workers and miners employed in la Grand-Combe. Les Taillades was build in the Gardon valley, on the right bank and crossed by the RN106. Blannaves is a hamlet, mostly in ruins and close to the Cambous lake.

gollark: It seems that I missed up list looseness detection somehow?
gollark: Exciting news: I patched my patch to nim-markdown and now it runs 25% faster *without* failing *too* many test cases!
gollark: Hmm, this actually does shave off about 25% of the runtime.
gollark: I could use cmark instead, but then extending it would be so many 🐝.
