Charming small village of Gard, Occitanie region, Rochegude takes place about sixty kilometers from Nîmes and its bullring, on both banks of the Cèze. It is located on a steep column, not far from Barjac, Tharaux, Saint-Ambroix or Saint-Brès.

From the Middle Ages, the official records mention the Castrum de Ròca-aguda, the fortress of the pointed rock, meaning the presence of a fortified medieval town. After experiencing a relatively peaceful history over the centuries, the town has become one of the major tourist attractions of the region for visitors who appreciate this haven of peace rich in preserved and authentic landscapes.

Rochegude is a true paradise for those who wish to enjoy their holidays to learn about various outdoor sports activities.
