Urs is a small picturesque village which can be accessed directly from National Route 20 from the villages of Lassur and Garanou, which border the village. Urs is crossed by the Aixat stream which marks the eastern border of the commune, which will then flow into the Ariège river. Formerly, the commune of Urs belonged to the Canton of Cabannes until 2015, and is now part of the Canton of Haute-Ariège.
