Roquemaure, Gard
Roquemaure is a small town and commune in the Gard department of southern France. The town lies 12 km north of Avignon on the right bank of the Rhône.
Roquemaure was the site of a royal castle during the medieval period but after the French Revolution the castle was dismantled and now only two towers remain. In the 18th century Roquemaure was the centre of attempts to regulate the production of wine in the area and the term "Côte du Rhône" was coined. The town is infamous for being the site where phylloxera, a pest of grapevines, was introduced into France from North America in the 1860s. Viticulture is still an important activity in the commune. Several types of wine are produced including some classified as Côtes du Rhône Appellation d'origine contrôlée.
==Geography==
Roquemaure lies on the right (west) bank of the Rhône, at the eastern end of a narrow limestone ridge, the Montagne de Saint Geniès, that rises abruptly from the flat alluvial plain and extends for 4.5 km in an east-west direction. The town is 12 km north of Avignon, 10 km south-southeast of Orange and 4 km west of Châteauneuf-du-Pape which lies on the other side of the Rhône.
The town is the administrative centre (''chef-lieu'') of the canton of Roquemaure, one of 24 cantons of the Arrondissement of Nîmes. The canton consists of nine communes: Laudun-l'Ardoise, Lirac, Montfaucon, Roquemaure, Saint-Geniès-de-Comolas, Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres, Saint-Victor-la-Coste, Tavel and Sauveterre.〔.〕
