Langlade (French pronunciation: [lɑ̃ɡlad]; Occitan: L'Anglada) is a commune and a village in the Gard department in southern France located some 15 km (9.3 mi) southwest of Nîmes.
In the 17th century a staging point was set up on the Roman road nearby and later a station was built in the village on the railway line connecting Nîmes to Roquefort.
First mentioned in 1125 as Anglata (meaning "angle" or "corner"), its early inhabitants appear to have been attracted by the plain just below the nearby Roman road between Nîmes and Sommières (the Via Domitia) where there were opportunities for growing cereals and raising sheep.
The name is a contraction of "Vallée de Nages" and it occupies a depression between the 200 metres (660 ft) scrub-covered hills on either side which cut it off from other areas.
In 1696, Louis XIV presented the village with a coat of arms (three vine stakes surmounted by a bunch of grapes on a silver background) in recognition of the court's appreciation of its wines.
After they were destroyed by phylloxera in 1876, production ceased until 1882 when Henri-David and Antoine Dombre undertook replanting and the creation of the Château Langlade label.
