About this Alès map poster
Alès sits where the Cévennes mountains meet the lower plains of the Gard. The river Gardon d'Alès curves around the old town, and on a map the historic centre is clearly held within that bend, with bridges crossing to newer districts on the other bank. To the north and west the hills close in, and the street pattern climbs and thins accordingly.
For much of its modern history, Alès was the capital of a coal mining basin, and traces of that industry remain in the surrounding valleys. Earlier, the city was a centre of silk production; in the 1860s Louis Pasteur spent several years here studying the disease that was devastating silkworms. Above the centre stands the fort built under Vauban.
An Alès map poster combines three clear elements: the looping river, the dense old town and the rising ground of the Cévennes. In black and white, the curve of the Gardon becomes the strongest line in the design, and the streets fan out from it, giving the map a natural focus and a sense of movement.

Old town and fort
The dense streets of the old town gather inside the river bend, overlooked by the fort built by Vauban on the rising ground above them.
Cévennes foothills
To the north and west, the city meets the first slopes of the Cévennes, where roads begin to wind and the built-up area gives way to hills.
