Geography
Equidistant from the Cévennes and from the Mediterranean ocean, between the rivers of the Cèze and the Gardon, close to the larger cities of Avignon, Nimes and Alès, as well as Uzès, the village has been a historical center in the region for centuries. La Bruguière is essentially an agricultural village despite its small touristic interest. It has a population of 360 inhabitants.[2] There is no village cafe or commerce, but there are interesting medieval era stone buildings.[3]

gollark: Computers are quite low-power nowadays. Although possibly less so than LED bulbs.
gollark: If anyone complains that it's "wrong" somehow just turn the power directed at them up a bit.
gollark: Lighting idea: simulate bright lighting on a much lower power budget using dim and somewhat unfocused lasers, computer vision-y cameras and digital light processing to aim """"safe"""" beams directly into people's eyes.
gollark: Automatically order in new ones upon failure.
