UZES

5km down the road is Uzes a lively medieval village distinguished as the first Duche of France with a beautiful chateau and towers dating from the 12th century. The village is built around the Place aux Herbes, the center square, where a round fountain sprayed water into a stone pool and kids played happily. Eight narrow pedestian only cobblestone streets extend from the center square like spokes on a wheel with shops, restaurants, and apartments on top. The town circles around the outside providing a community feeling in one big circle. Uzes is also the home to two summer festivals and an abundance of hiking trails marked throughout the area.
