Geographic context
Suze is centred 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) northeast of Crest, the main population and the administrative centre of the canton. Gigors-et-Lozeron, Beaufort-sur-Gervanne, Cobonne, Aouste-sur-Sye, Mirabel-et-Blacons and Montclar-sur-Gervanne border Suze.
Etymology/topology
The name is a corruption of segusia,[what language is this?] 'forceful', given to various elevated strongholds, made up of the components sego meaning 'force or vigour', and a suffix -us(e/a/ia). The same etymology describes Suze-la-Rousse to the south in Drôme and in Piedmont, Italy: Susa, which has a French name, Suse.
