Luminous apartment on the third floor of an 18th Century town house with a sunny roof terrace where you can dine under the towers of the Duché - the château of Uzès. The apartment is simply yet comfortably furnished, and decorated with original oil paintings. All the paintings in the apartment are for sale, and it is possible to meet with the artists at their studio/gallery on request.
The kitchen, and both bedrooms afford the luxury of a marvellous view over looking the rooftops of Uzès towards the Duché. The apartment is but 40 yards from the arcaded Place aux Herbes, famous for its colourful Saturday market which you can see by just leaning out of the window!
The apartment is very well equipped with a television (no satellite), a CD/MP3/Radio player, WiFi internet access, bookcase with a good selection of paperbacks for your enjoyment and a complete kitchen, with dishwasher, electric oven and hob, microwave and all the necessary kitchen appliances. There is also a brand new washing machine in the apartment.
The wonderful terrace, overlooking the Duché, has an iron table and matching chairs with parasol, together with two large potted plants to give a little ambiance!
Uzès, the most beautiful town of its size in France was declared a national treasure in the sixties by André Malraux, then minister of culture. The towers of its "Duché" dominate the skyline. Built from the white limestone on which it stands, it is the perfect place to forget about time, relax, and lose oneself in the maze of little streets full of cafés, restaurants and historic sites, or to walk in the shady river valley to inspect the remains of the Roman aqueduct and the spring which once supplied it. The market stalls and small shops contain a wide variety of fresh local produce - olives, spices, fish, wine, lavender honey, cheese and fabrics of Provence. There are also three supermarkets nearby. The apartment, though centrally placed is very quiet and peaceful. |
