Learn more about Uzès

Uzès, a historic town in Gard

Uzès lies in the Gard, between the Cévennes and the Rhône Valley. The town has about 8,000 inhabitants and a protected historic centre. In the 1960s, heritage policies associated with André Malraux helped restore and enhance its urban fabric.

Old centre and protected area

The centre of Uzès brings together narrow streets, 16th- and 17th-century façades, town houses, vaulted passages, fountains and shaded squares. The City of Art and History label helps frame this heritage. Visits are mainly on foot, around Place aux Herbes, shopping streets and nearby monuments.

The Duchy and Fenestrelle tower

Uzès has held the title of first duchy of France since the 17th century. The Duchy, residence of the ducal family, occupies a central position in the town. Nearby, Saint-Théodorit cathedral and the Fenestrelle tower, a rare round bell tower inspired by Romanesque models, form a strong architectural landmark.

Market and Uzège

The Saturday morning market fills Place aux Herbes and neighbouring streets. It reflects the produce of Uzège: olives, Duché d’Uzès wines, vegetables, fruit, cheese, herbs and garrigue products. The surrounding area combines vineyards, olive groves, dry-stone walls and villages such as Lussan, Castillon-du-Gard and Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie.

Towards Pont du Gard and the Gorges du Gardon

From Uzès, it is easy to reach the Pont du Gard and remains of the Roman aqueduct that carried water to Nîmes. The Gorges du Gardon, around Collias, also allow walks, seasonal bathing and canoe routes.
