Caderousse, a village with 2,831 inhabitants (as of 01/01/2017)
The originality of Caderousse is its impressive embankment (10 metres high and almost 2 km long), built in 1856 to protect the town from uncontrollable flooding from the Rhone. The embankment looks down on the village and is open at two points: at Porte Léon Roche and Porte Castellan. From the sky, the lines of majestic plane trees around the village make Caderousse an isle of greenery, hence its nickname, the “Green Island”.
