Ancient Diocese of Couserans

Saint-Lizier Cathedral

The former French Catholic diocese of Couserans existed perhaps from the fifth century to the French Revolution in the late eighteenth century. It covered the former province of Couserans, in south-west France. Its episcopal seat was in Saint-Lizier, a small town to the west of Foix.[1] It was a suffragan of the archdiocese of Auch.
