Cell towers in Le Grau-du-Roi (Gard)

Most of the town's 29 masts are pylons (15); 2 water towers and 1 camouflaged "tree" pylon make up the rest of the mix.

Masts stand at 750 rue Falco de Baroncelli, Port Royal, rue de l'Ancienne Poste, avenue du Palais de la Mer, rue Marcel Pagnol and Le Boucanet.

Over the past 12 months ANFR recorded 10 new systems here. ANFR has approved one new site that is not live yet, plus additions on 7 existing masts. New: Free Mobile (4G and 5G, including 5G at 3.5 GHz) at 8 Avenue Jean Lasserre. 29 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The highest support stands 66 m at Le Boucanet (water tower). The median is 18 m, slightly below the Gard median of 25 m.

5 masts belong to the commune itself and 3 to Totem; the rest sit mainly on private buildings.

Systems from 1998 are still on the register. Free Mobile switched on the first 5G here in December 2020; Orange followed in June 2021, Bouygues Telecom followed in March 2022. 2022 was the busiest year, with 93 new systems, most of them 5G.

3 masts carry all four networks; 9 supports carry only Orange.

Among the 27 Gard towns with at least five masts, Le Grau-du-Roi ranks 2nd by mast count. With 29 masts for 8,588 residents, or 34 per 10,000, it has more masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (10).

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Bouygues Telecom on 14 of its 19 masts, SFR on 13 of its 17 masts, Orange on 12 of its 13 masts and Free Mobile on 4 of its 5 masts.

4.8 km to the north-west, neighbouring La Grande-Motte has only 9 masts.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
