History

The arrondissement of Alès was created in 1800.[4] At the January 2017 reorganisation of the arrondissements of Gard, it gained four communes from the arrondissement of Le Vigan, and it lost two communes to the arrondissement of Nîmes and six communes to the arrondissement of Le Vigan.[5]

  1. Alès-Nord-Est
  2. Alès-Ouest
  3. Alès-Sud-Est
  4. Anduze
  5. Barjac
  6. Bessèges
  7. Génolhac
