Tourism Aramon
Located on the right bank of the Rhône, half way between Avignon and Beaucaire, the village of Aramon forms an amphitheatre at the foot of its castle, which is built on top of a rocky outcrop.
In terms of recent history, the rural economy revolved around basket making up to the 1960s, with many workshops in the village. Aramon then enjoyed a period of rapid development thanks to several industrial installations and work by the Compagnie Nationale du Rhône to build the Vallabrègues dam.
