Rogues is a commune in the Gard department in southern France. The departments of France (French: département, pronounced: [depa t m ]) and many of its former colonies are administrative divisions. Their precise functions, powers and responsibilities are unclear. The 101 French departments are grouped into 22 metropolitan and five overseas regions, all of which have identical legal status as integral parts of France. The departments are subdivided into 342 arrondissements, which in turn, are divided into cantons. Each canton consists of a small number of communes. In the overseas territories, some of the communes play a role at departmental level.
