Uzes is a charming medieval city (pop. 8,300) in the Languedoc-Rousillon region of southern France, about 20 miles north of Nimes, 30 miles west of Avignon, 40 miles from Marignane Airport in Marseilles and 50 miles from the Mediterranean Sea,

Uzes…a town with a skyline that marks the region from afar…and from within holds treasures for the eyes, ears, and tastebuds.

Self-proclaimed first duchy of France; host to one of the most colorful Saturday markets in the south of France; site of the source for the water that flowed through the Pont du Gard on its way to Nimes in Roman times;

A cathedral boasting a beautiful organ on the inside and an Italianate fenestrelle tower on the outside;

A region full of beautiful villages and all sorts of goodies for food and wine lovers; annual festivals of dance, music, pottery, truffles, gardening, and antiques

The arcade-lined Place aux Herbes, where the weekly market takes place, and where you can sit outside for a tasty lunch or a drink on a sunny day. Just a bit of heaven...
