Lecques (French pronunciation:[lɛk];Occitan:Lècas) is acommune in theGarddepartment in southernFrance.

It is built on rising ground, on the west bank of the RiverVidourle, 6 km (3.7 mi) to the north and upstream ofSommières. The village centre is on a rocky outcrop that overhangs the bank of the river.[3] Steps lead down to the bridge. Its elevation means it is protected from the 'vidourlades' or violent floods, for example, that of 9 September 2002.[4] There are remains of the ramparts, the narrow medieval streets and a church.

Etymology

[edit]

The name 'Lecques' comes from the Celtic word 'leucas', meaning a settlement by a marker post on an ancient track.[3]
