Bouillargues

Bouillargues (French pronunciation: [bujaʁg]; Occitan: Bolhargues) is a commune in the Gard department in southern France.

Bouillargues is located just southeast of the city of Nimes, at the northern edge of the Camargue and between two major highways, the N113 and the RD 135.

[4] The suffix "-argues", common in the south of France, suggests that the town of Bouillargues has been in existence since antiquity.

[7] The present town hall is housed in the Château de Bouillargues which was purchased for the commune in 1957.

[6] The village bullring, Les Arènes André Dupuis, is named after the mayor of Bouillargues who died weeks before it was inaugurated in 2010.
