GARD

'Gard' (Occitan: ''Gard'') is a department located in southern France in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It is named after the river Gardon (or Gard).

History

The Gard area was settled by the Romans in classical times. It was crossed by the Via Domitia, which was constructed in 118 BC.
Gard is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from the ancient province of Languedoc.

Gard is part of the region of Languedoc-Roussillon and is surrounded by the department of Hérault, Lozère, Aveyron, Bouches-du-Rhône, Vaucluse, and Ardèche.
The highest point in the department is the Mont Aigoual.
Serious flooding has occurred in the department in recent years.
