Uzes Market France 2017
This is one of the most beautiful markets in the South of France. The Heartistry Experience group had so much fun wandering through the market, savoring the smells, sights and tastes of the region. Uzes is an ancient city and the surrounding buildings are so charming. It is so worth a visit!
Uzès, France
Uzès, in Languedoc, France, is just to the west of Provence, typical of the region and a very charming town. The main street has got some little craft booths set up almost every day, the Old Town is a pedestrian zone, as usual you'll find in these beautiful villages in the south of France.

There are some up-slopes and down-slopes, but it's a fairly level, small Old Town. The road around it follows the route of the original medieval fortified wall, so this is one of those limestone towns that is really well-preserved and the arcades around the main square create a wonderful ambience, a place to shop a place to eat and drink and just hang out.
This main square, Place aux Herbes, has been the center of Uzès ever since before the Roman days, back when it was a Gallic village. It's right in the heart of the Old Town, a fairly large space with these plane trees all around that were planted to provide shade. Sometimes in the summertime it’ll get hot but we're here in the fall and the weather is perfect. You can see it's shirtsleeve weather for some, the families are out but it's not a very crowded day. We’re here in the middle of the week. If you come on a Saturday there is a large outdoor market that takes place in the town, but on a weekday it's really pretty quiet, especially where you’re here in November.
And this main square is surrounded by the arcades, these kind of loggia with the cafés, with the shops. Originally in the seventeenth century it was wooden structures around the main square.
Limestone is a great building material in the area so it makes it convenient to construct these classic and immortal buildings. Nice fountain in the middle of the square. Just a place to relax. You want to just drop anchor here for a while and hang out, get a drink. There are nice restaurants around the square as well. And then of course there are the little streets that come into the square that are ideal for shopping and meandering.
Uzès, France
Uzès is a charming, small town in the south of France, with pretty pedestrian lanes, a lovely main square, fine restaurants, and a friendly ambience. The historic buildings date back to the Renaissance and Middle Ages, constructed of limestone and brick surdy enough to last 500 years. We are in Languedoc, just west of Provence, in a town the ancient Romans developed because nearby was their source of water for a great aqueduct that nourished their provincial capital in Nimes, including a passage through the famous Pont du Gard, several miles away. It makes a great visit from a home base in Avignon, which can be arranged with a tour company such as Provence Reservation, who drove us there in small vans, with commentary by excellent local guides.
The Market at Uzès (Preview)
A sneak preview of the Uzès market in the south of France, produced by Visual Education Media Ltd which specialises in the making of DVD and CD-ROM resources for teachers and students of French Language and Culture. A valuable resource for learners. The open-air markets of France are lively, thriving places that have been around since early medieval times. That of Uzès is one of the most representative and also the most colourful of these markets.
Le Marché dUzès takes us to the heart of one of the largest and most popular markets in Southern France . Lying just to the west of Provence , Uzès is a small town with a large history. It is situated in an area where many specialties meet; charcuterie from the Cévennes, bull meat from the Camargue and fish from the Mediterranean . Every Saturday, the Grand Marché,with more than 200 stalls, entertainers and musicians, spills out from the Place aux Herbes on to the boulevards of the town.
The various produce sellers - the cheese merchant, the fruit & vegetable man, the florist, the showman peddling his kitchen utensil, the soap manufacturer, and the alcoholic beverages maker - along with musicians and a mime, provide us with the patter, the exchanges, the vocabulary and the atmosphere of a traditional market.

ROADTRIP around the SOUTH OF FRANCE - Avignon | Pont Du Gard | Garrigues-Sainte-Elulalie | Uzes
Oh the South of France! With its charming sleepy villages, cobble stoned alleys and delectable markets. There’s a certain “je ne sais quoi” about the Provencal Region that makes me want to go back for more.
We stayed in the quaint village of Garrigues-Saint-Elulalie and ventured out on day trips to Uzes, Avignon and the Pont Du Gard. Stay tuned to learn more about this beautiful region.

Places to see in ( Uzes - France )
Uzès is a town situated to the west of Avignon and north of Nimes in the Gard department of Languedoc-Roussillon. The centre of this active town is now a protected historical monument, with a good mix of medieval stone houses and fine townhouses constructed later to discover. before visiting Uzès we had been led to believe it was quite a normal, quiet provincial town. In fact it is very attractive with its large arcaded central square, numerous historic monuments, historic streets and alleys, broad tree-lined boulevards and lovely views across the countryside - one of our favourite towns in southern France and a visit is highly recommended.
It is easy to find your bearings in Uzès because the town is surrounded by a broad boulevard that completely surrounds the historic centre. We suggest you start at the north in Place Albert because the Tourist Office is here and you can ask for a map of the town that includes all the places of interest and a suggested route to follow as you explore - although the pretty historic streets will tempt you away from the suggested route quite often
The narrow streets of the old town are most noteworthy for the fine 17th century houses, many with ornate iron balustrades, dating from when it was a wealthy textile centre, and for the narrow streets of medieval houses. On your way into the centre you can also see two particularly important townhouses: the 16th century Hôtel Dampmartin (on Place Dampmartin), which includes a tower with a staircase; and the Hôtel de Joubert (on Rue de la Republique) with its beautiful renaissance style doorway and windows.
The centre of Uzès is around Place aux Herbes, a pretty square surrounded by attractive stone houses and arcades and with a large stone fountain: the stonework of the arcades with its imposing arches is very impressive. The Place aux Herbes is also the centre for the markets held in the town on Wednesday morning and Saturday all day, and has several cafes so it is a good place to take your morning coffee
The major monument here in the centre of Uzes is the Duke's Castle, dating from the early medieval period. From the outside the castle walls are dominated by its three towers and donjon, while the interior has been furnished with period furniture and there is a lovely view across the town from the top of the donjon. Entrance charge 17 euros.
Two medieval towers in the town can be seen in the Medieval Garden: the 12th century Tour de l'Evèque and the 13th century Tour du Roi. In fact the medieval garden was one of the highlights of our visit to Uzès: the garden itself was quite interesting but it also gives you access to climb the Tour de Roi for amazing views across the town and surrounding countryside. Access to the garden is a little hidden away on the Rue Port Royal in the south of the historic centre.
One particular highlight in Uzes is the 'window tower' (la tour fenestrelle) to the east of the centre. This is an Italian style round stone tower with several pairs of arched windows running up its height that stands 42 metres high and is next to the cathedral. The Cathedral of Saint Theodorit itself was rebuilt in the 17th century, and the facade added in the 19th century.
Although we can't list all the interesting buildings in the town we should mention those along the road that leads back into the town from the cathedral, along the Rue Rafin. There are several imposing townhouses here from the renaissance period onwards, with the Hôtel des Monnaies and the Hôtel Chambon de la Tour the highlights. For shopping and a wide choice of restaurants you can follow the broad boulevards - principally the Rue Gambetta - that now surround the medieval centre. If time permits you can follow your walk through the town with a walk through the large park just below the cathedral. As well as the peaceful setting you will also see the Roman aqueduct in the park.
