Sommières, Administrative center in Occitanie, France.
Situated between vineyards and Mediterranean hills, Sommières contains stone buildings, narrow streets, and a central plaza lined with local businesses.
The settlement developed from a Roman crossing point, evolving into a fortified medieval center with a strategic bridge over the Vidourle River.
The weekly market brings together regional producers, artisans, and residents, continuing centuries of trading traditions in the town center.
Municipal services include identity documentation processing, urban planning consultations, and regular community meetings at the town hall.
The town maintains an intact Roman bridge with 17 arches, connecting both banks of the Vidourle River since the first century AD.
