A crossing point between the Languedoc and the Rhone valley. Remoulins is at a crossroads between the Gardon valley and the Nîmes - Avignon road. In 736 Charles Martel was victorious here against the Saracens. The town was fortified (ramparts, watch towers) in the 12th century. The terrible Religious wars between Catholics and Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries left the tow in a state of ruin. The present layout along the main avenue was established in the 19th century. Remoulins has an active industrial fibre, a highly developed network of artisans and a diversified agricultural activity (wines, fruit and vegetables).
