Beaucaire, Historic commune in Gard, France

Located along the Rhône River between Nîmes, Avignon, and Arles, Beaucaire extends over 186 square kilometers with an elevation of 18 meters.

Founded in the 7th century BC as Ugernum, Beaucaire served as a crucial junction on the Via Domitia during Roman times and later developed into a medieval stronghold.

The Fair of la Madeleine, established during medieval times, transformed Beaucaire into a major commercial center rivaling the port of Marseille in trade volume.

The town maintains six kindergartens, seven primary schools, four colleges, and two high schools, serving its population of 15,680 residents as of 2021.

The local landscape includes Natura 2000 protected sites, with the Rhône-Sète canal system supporting agricultural activities and water management throughout the region.
