Roquemaure

Roquemaure sits on a limestone ridge along the Rhône River, extending 4.5 kilometers east to west with views over the alluvial plains.

Two medieval towers remain from the royal castle that once stood in Roquemaure until its dismantling following the French Revolution in the late 18th century.

The town holds weekly markets every Tuesday where local producers gather to sell regional products, wines, and seasonal fruits and vegetables.

The commune connects to major cities through regular bus services and maintains proximity to train stations that link to Avignon, just 12 kilometers south.

Roquemaure marks the location where phylloxera, an insect that devastated European wine production, first entered France from North America in the 1860s.
