Geography
Audressein is situated on the former Route nationale 618, the "Route of the Pyrenees", at the start of the climb to the Col de la Core some 18 km south-west of Saint-Girons. Access to the commune is by the D618 road from Argein in the west which passes through the centre of the commune and the village and continues to Engomer in the north-east. The D804 goes from Sor in the west through the commune just south of the village and continues to Castillon-en-Couserans in the south-east. The commune is mixed forest and farmland with substantial forests in the north.[2]
The Léz river flows through the commune from south to north forming the south-eastern border of the commune and continues north-east to join the Salat at Saint-Girons. The Bouigane river flows from the west across the commune to join the Lez at the village. The Long Rieu stream rises in the north of the commune and flows south to join the Bouigane near the village.[2]

Demography
In 2010 the commune had 116 inhabitants. The evolution of the number of inhabitants is known from the population censuses conducted in the commune since 1793. From the 21st century, a census of communes with fewer than 10,000 inhabitants is held every five years, unlike larger communes that have a sample survey every year.[Note 1]

Notes and references
Notes
- ↑ At the beginning of the 21st century, the methods of identification have been modified by Law No. 2002-276 of 27 February 2002, the so-called "law of local democracy" and in particular Title V "census operations" allows, after a transitional period running from 2004 to 2008, the annual publication of the legal population of the different French administrative districts. For communes with a population greater than 10,000 inhabitants, a sample survey is conducted annually, the entire territory of these communes is taken into account at the end of the period of five years. The first "legal population" after 1999 under this new law came into force on 1 January 2009 and was based on the census of 2006.
