Uzes is between Ales, Avignon and Nimes, in the Gard department of Languedoc-Roussillon.

The town of Uzes is noteworthy for the fine 16th century houses in the town, many with ornate iron balustrades, dating from when it was a wealthy textile centre. 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.

The tourist office can suggest a guided tour that will ensure you see the best the town has to offer.

The centre of the town, around Place aux Herbes - with attractive stone houses and arcades around the edge, is the centre for the markets held in the town on Wednesday and Saturday.

One particular highlight of Uzes is the 'window tower' - an unusual 'Pisa style' round stone tower with several pairs of arched windows running up its height. A couple of the other towers in the town are best seen from the Medieval Garden.

North of Uzes, at La Cocaliere (between St-Ambroix and St-Paul-le-Jeune) you can visit one of the most impressive cave systems in France which includes both spectacular rock formations and evidence of prehistoric habitation.

Other popular attractions near Uzès include the water park in a lovely natural setting at Bouscarasse (along the road towards Alès); the Museum of 1900 and Toys at Arpaillargues (east); and the Haribo Museum, which celebrates 100 years of the most popular sweet manufacturer in France - one for the children!
