Vals is a commune in the Ariège department in southwestern France.
It is known for the church "Eglise Rupestre de Vals" which is literally built right into the giant rocks that make up its foundation. Picturesque in itself, it has a view of the valley spread out before it.
Inhabitants of Vals are called Valséens.
