Remoulins

Remoulins is an ancient fortified town located 2 km from the Pont du Gard.
Worth a visit: The 12th-century church, Notre-Dame de Bethleem and its bell tower, the ramparts, the Saint-Martin chapel, built in honor of Charles Martel, hiking.
Remoulins is located at a strategic crossroads between Avignon, Nîmes and Uzès.
Just 2 km from the Pont du Gard, and on the banks of the Gardon river, from which it takes its name (les remous du Gardon). You can discover the remains of the fortifications and its tower.

As early as the 4th century, Remoulins was founded on the Marduel oppidum, which in the 2nd century became known as Sainte-Colombe.

Remoulins was fortified (ruins of the ramparts on Place du Portail). The village suffered battles first between lords, then between Catholics and Protestants. The village was enfranchised in the 12th century and remained so until the Revolution of 1789 (450 souls in the 18th century).

Remoulins suffered from the Wars of Religion, sometimes taken by the Catholics, sometimes by the Protestants, and the village ended up bloodless and the population ruined. It was at this time that La Salvetat or Castel Vieille was built, the lords' residence whose windows with capitals and pilasters can still be seen today. After 1789, Remoulins was more or less spared major political events.
