the ancient Ugernum, a town of France, department of Gard, and arrondissement of Nimes. Lat. 43° 48', 32". Long. 4° 38', 50". It is situated on the right bank of the Rhone, opposite Tarascon, with which it is connected by a magnificent suspension-bridge of four arches, and 1456 feet in length. The town is generally well built, but has no public buildings worthy of notice, and the streets are narrow and crooked. Its ancient castle is now in ruins. It gives name to the canal which communicates with the sea, and also connects it with the canal of Languedoc, forming part of the line of communication between the Rhone and the Garonne. It is also connected with Nismes and Alais by a railway opened in 1839. The manufactures are few and unimportant. The town derives its celebrity from the annual fair held here from the 1st to the 28th of July, and to which merchants come from all parts of Europe, and even from Persia and Armenia. An extensive meadow on the banks of the Rhone is set apart for the fair, which exhibits almost every kind of article, whether of convenience or luxury. Though now less frequented than formerly, it is said that still as many as 100,000 persons attend. Pop. of town in 1846, 8536.
