About 1 hour by car from our accommodation
Looking for accommodation near Uzès for your holiday? In Lunel-Viel, about an hour from the town, our accommodation with pool welcomes 4 to 12 guests: ideal for discovering Uzès and the Pont du Gard, then enjoying Montpellier, Nîmes and the beaches.
Awarded the “Town of Art and History” label, Uzès charms visitors with its beautifully preserved old centre, its mansions, its shady squares and its stone lanes. Here are the places not to miss.
Surrounded by arcades and old façades, the Place aux Herbes is the heart of Uzès, with its café terraces and shops.
Every Wednesday and Saturday morning, it comes alive with the markets: producers, craftspeople and traders offer fruit and vegetables, local produce and regional specialities. On Saturdays, the market spills over onto the boulevards.
In 1565, Antoine de Crussol became Duke of Uzès, making the town the first duchy in France.
In the heart of the historic centre, the Duché is the symbol of this prestigious past: its architecture bears the marks of several centuries of history, from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.
A few minutes from the Place aux Herbes, Saint-Théodorit cathedral and its Fenestrelle tower, pierced with windows all the way up, are among the town’s landmarks.
The Georges-Borias museum and the former Bishop’s Palace, close by, round off your discovery of the ducal town.
The medieval garden of Uzès and its towers offer a peaceful green retreat among the old stones.
To extend your walk, the Eure valley, a few minutes from the centre, offers a shady setting of plane trees and poplars, with the Eure spring and remains of the Roman aqueduct.
At the beginning of our era, the Romans built an aqueduct about 50 km long between the Eure spring, in Uzès, and Nîmes. The Pont du Gard, a UNESCO-listed monument, is its most spectacular remain.
About 12 km from Uzès, it can be reached by car or by bike on the Uzès – Pont du Gard – Beaucaire greenway, laid out along a former railway line.
Half a day in the ducal town. On Wednesday or Saturday morning, enjoy the market on the Place aux Herbes, then follow the lanes to the Duché and the Fenestrelle tower.
A full day. In the morning, explore Uzès on foot. In the afternoon, head to the Pont du Gard to admire the Roman aqueduct above the Gardon, before returning to the villa, about an hour away.
By car, allow about an hour from Lunel-Viel. The ducal town is then best explored on foot.
On Saturdays, the main market day, a free municipal shuttle runs around town: try to arrive early.
The Destination Pays d’Uzès Pont du Gard tourist office is in the Capucins chapel, 16 place Albert-Ier. Maps, monument opening times and market information are available there.
