Alès lies 46 km north northwest of Nîmes, on the left bank of the Gardon River, which half surrounds it. It is located at the foot of the Cévennes, near the Cévennes National Park, amongst beautiful scenery. Once noted for cloth and silk, Ales’ industries now focus on making machinery, electrical equipment, hosiery, and base metal and silver are mined near the town. In the 16th century Ales was one of the principal centres of French Protestantism. The Peace of Ales, signed in Ales in 1629, stripped the Huguenots of their political powers. Several buildings dating from this period remain.
