Pour les communes dont la population est supérieure à 10 000 habitants, une enquête par sondage est effectuée chaque année, la totalité du territoire de ces communes est prise en compte au terme de la même période de cinq ans. La première population légale postérieure à celle de 1999 et s’inscrivant dans ce nouveau dispositif est entrée en vigueur au 1er janvier 2009 et correspond au recensement de l’année 2006.〕 Anduze was the basis of the resistance of the Duc de Rohan in 1622, and in 1629 the Peace of Ales, saw the dismantling of the city ramparts.
