Sigean (French pronunciation: [siʒɑ̃] ; Occitan: Sijan) is a commune in the Aude department in southern France. It formerly laid on Route nationale 9 between Narbonne and Perpignan,[3] but RN 9 (downgraded to route départementale 6009) now bypasses the town of Sigean and is itself bypassed by the A9 autoroute.
