lose to the Lubéron, the Camargue, the Alpilles and the Cévennes, Uzès is an ideal place to stay: its location, the beauty of its architectural heritage and natural environment, its intense cultural life in a land of festivals, its exceptional light, sunshine and mild climate, all guarantee a high-quality stay. Situated on a rocky promontory, its medieval towers (Tour Fenestrelle, Tour de l’Évêque, Tour du Roi and Tour Ducale) dominate the verdant Alzon valley, where the Eure river rises, revered since Antiquity for supplying water to the city of Nîmes via the Pont du Gard aqueduct.
Uzès, City of Art and History, between Cévennes, Provence and Camargue
Uzès… City of Art and History
Episcopal city (since the 4th century) and ducal city (the de Crussol d’Uzès family has lived in the castle for 900 years, and Antoine de Crussol received the prerogatives of Duke and First Peer of France in 1632), Protestant stronghold, home of the Reformation and Huguenot resistance.
Uzès is an exceptionally beautiful town. Thanks to its architectural quality, the old town was one of the first to be classified as a protected area by André Malraux.
literary evocations…
Uzès, a preserved, peaceful, unhurried town, where an almost timeless atmosphere reigns thanks to the distance maintained between its site and the fevers of the present (Pierre Pélissero, Cathedral organist).
Uzès is a child’s dream come true in his forties… (Jean-Jacques Brousson – secretary to Anatole France – who lived in the Hôtel d’Amoreux on rue de la Monnaie)
The sky is always clear as long as it lasts,
And we have nights more beautiful than your days… (Jean Racine)
A real LAND of CULTURE
An EXCEPTIONAL environment
CÉVENNES, PROVENCE, CAMARGUE
A season for rebirth and marvelling Nature beauties, so near.
In the park, a tapestry of a thousand flowers…
Fiery colours of nostalgia… Harvests, grapepicking, mushrooms, jams, good wine, walks… Hording for the winter…
“Water and sun”. It is the time for happyness of the body and mind, sunbathing and farniente, swimming, evening festivals, and friends…
Rebuilding your inner self for the renewal of spring… Need for warmth, friendship, fires in the hearth, deliciously simmered dishes…
