Roquetaillade was a small village, also known as a "commune," located in the Aude area of southern France. It was a special place with its own history and people. On January 1, 2019, Roquetaillade joined with another nearby village called Conilhac to form a new, bigger commune named Roquetaillade-et-Conilhac. This change helped the two communities work together more closely.
