Our list of the best places to stay in Uzès includes classic gems within the city limits as well as a selection of rural charmers for those dreaming of absolute tranquility.
Heritage aficionados will find no shortage of attractions in Uzès. The imposing Le Duché, for example, was once home to the Dukes of Uzès, and is well worth visiting — as are Uzès Cathedral and the medieval gardens, which boast a tower with striking city views. The Musée 1900 is excellent, although little ones might prefer the Haribo Museum! Don’t miss the buzzing farmers’ markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays, where you can feast and fill your bags with delectable local produce.
