In the medieval town of Uzès, the 17th Duke of Uzès resides in his beautifully restored city castle, which is open to visitors and hosts concerts during the summer. The Tour Fenestrelle is a unique 12th-century round bell tower that can be seen from the surrounding hilly landscape.
Uzès boasts lovely shops and lively markets, attracting Parisians who come to shop for elegant home and garden accessories. The region is renowned for its fine wines and truffles.
Nîmes is the art and history city of the region, with its well-preserved amphitheater (where performances are held), Roman temple, and art museums. The university town of Montpellier is a five-minute drive from Uzès and offers a delightful blend of culture, outdoor cafes, beaches, shops, and music.
A highlight just a 10-minute drive away is the iconic Pont du Gard aqueduct, built by the Romans in the 1st century AD. Today, it's a place where you can go canoeing through rapids, wade through the river on horseback, or relax on the many beaches.
Golfing is available at the 9-hole golf course in Uzès (5 minutes' drive) or the 18-hole courses in Nîmes or Avignon. The cities of Avignon, Orange, and Arles are all less than an hour's drive away by car.
Additionally, it's a great perk that you can use 4 city bikes and 2 mountain bikes. There is a 32-km bike path just around the corner from the villa.
