Uzès sparkles like no other, a magical and original Provencal town with its famous twice weekly market, that snakes through a maze of cobbled lanes before flowing into the ancient Place aux Herbes. Blissful local countryside laps at the town’s walls and you can drop down from the cathedral and follow a path all the way out to the Pont du Gard, a 1st-century Roman aqueduct, which is one of the most visited historical sights of France

Also, if you enjoy walking, visit the local Nature reserve Goron, in the heart of the Gorges du Gardon massif, next to our village, Sanilhac-Sagriès. There are several hiking trails for you to explore. The 491 hectares classified Reserve are located largely on the left bank of the river, between the Pont Saint Nicolas and the town of Collias. It is a real jewel of nature.
The wide variety of natural environments (garrigue, cavities, forests, rivers, cliffs) offer refuge to an exceptional biodiversity. No less than 1200 plant and animal species are listed on the site, some of which are rare or protected. Added to this is an extremely rich cultural heritage: oppidum, dry stone walls, chapel, mills, coal mines, and the hermitage and cave of St Vérédème.
Avignon and the lavender fields in the Luberon (June to August) near Mont Ventaux, and the Roman Town of Nîmes are easily reached by car. There are many GR hiking trails and footpaths in the immediate vicinity of our village, plus golf courses, horse riding, and a lovely large swimming pool in Uzes. Walk down the Gorge and swim in crystal clear waters of the river Gardon, and in the next village, Collias, you can also swim in the river, kayak and canoe down, abseil the gorges, or do quad biking.
