Lecques (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx) is a commune in the Gard department in southern France.
It is built on rising ground, on the west bank of the River Vidourle, Script error: No such module "convert". to the north and upstream of Sommières. The village centre is on a rocky outcrop that overhangs the bank of the river.[2] 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.[3] There are remains of the ramparts, the narrow medieval streets and a church.
Etymology
The name 'Lecques' comes from the Celtic word 'leucas', meaning a settlement by a marker post on an ancient track.[2]
