Village Scenes in UZÈS

One morning I was awakened to a strange sound in the street beneath my window. There were horses braying below.

Like a child looking for Saint Nicholas, I jumped out of the bed, flew open the sash, and grabbed my camera.

Later I learned the horses were pulling a water wagon to feed the town’s plants.

Clever!

It would be a real feat to maneuver a truck around these street barriers.

Plus, what a delightful way to start a day.

More Village Scenes in Uzès

In Uzès, the village square bustles every week with a Saturday market that’s filled with exuberant life: fresh produce, cheese vendors, flower stalls, and more.

Cobblestone streets and ancient stone houses are adorned with shutters and lace, like time standing still.

The Duché, a remnant of medieval days, watches over the village, its courtyard offering glimpses into royal life.

Cafes in Uzès are where life happens – for locals and strangers. We are welcomed with food and wine that are house specialties.

Then there are the fountains –  quiet, elegant, bringing a piece of calm to the present.

These are the threads of a life in my beloved Uzès.

Uzès might not be a grand metropolis, but it’s got a rhythm, a heartbeat that draws you in. It’s the everyday moments that become memories, the people you meet, and the way this place makes you feel alive. That’s why I love Uzès, in all its unassuming, timeless glory.
