Canaules-et-Argentières

Canaules-et-Argentières is commune in the Gard department in southern France.

It is located deep in the French wine producing region known as [http://www.canaules.com/LanguedocInfo.html Languedoc] . Wine has been produced in [http://www.canaules.com/LanguedocInfo.html Languedoc] for more than 2000 years. The Greeks, and later the Romans, established colonies to produce wine and olives. The [http://www.canaules.com/LanguedocInfo.html Languedoc] covers roughly the region between the Rhône and the Aude River, extending northwards to the Cévennes and the Massif Central. The name derives from Occitan (French: langue d'oc), the language spoken in the region before French became the general usage language. [http://www.canaules.com/LanguedocInfo.html Languedoc] has been settled by the Greeks, Phoenicians and Romans, and invaded by the Alamanni, Vandals, Visigoths, and Saracens. Some parts of Languedoc have been part of the dominions of the kings of Aragon and the kings of Majorca; it did not come under French control until the 16th century.
