Uzès is our home base this week to tour the Rhône river area of Provence, France. Uzes is a lovely little city (8000 residents). It was established by the Romans in 100 BC to build a aqueduct from Uzès to Nimes. Uzès was quite involved with the religious wars in the 1200-1500 period. It was also a textile manufacturing area and enjoyed great wealth and prosperity despite the war conditions.
The Duke of Uzès is the highest peerage in France and is responsible for defending the crown. Now they are really, really rich. Their home is one of the pictures below😳
We love Uzès. It’s quiet and scenic with just enough action to keep it interesting. My favorite city so far. highly recommended 👍
We stayed home in beautiful Uzès all day, and caught some much needed rest. Walked the city, enjoyed the renowned Saturday market which is huge, over 400 venders easily. No flea market here…clothes, produce, meats, cheeses , bakery, prepared food, you name it, it’s here! Including the French specialty, Escargot, which is pictured below😏
Wonderful 👍
We spent a couple of hours this afternoon sitting in one of the city’s squares enjoying a beer 🍺😎👍
Our wonderful hosts, Monique and Christophe, the best 👍
Tomorrow, the Cote du Rhône wine road, and possibly some wine tasting 😎🥖
Au revoir!
