Uzès Saturday Market
Shopping everywhere
Uzès Saturday Market usurps any other business activity that might go on in the small town’s historic district. Lots of permanent shops are closed. Vendors are everywhere, not just in the plazas but also along the main streets, not just limited to the plazas. It takes over the entire historic district. The town’s a colorful shopping paradise.
Place aux Herbes and Place Nicclas Fromant
Produce, meats, cheeses, pastries, clothing, and more are for sale up and down the streets and alleyways. Stalls of fresh fruits and veggies are beautifully displayed. Freshly baked pastries, bread, cheese, and wine are everywhere you turn.
What couldn’t I resist?
But it’s not just about food – oh no! Alongside the fruits and veggies, you’ll find artisans selling their wares. Jewelry, pottery, and artwork — it’s all there and hard to resist. In fact, a handmade leather bracelet with a silver clasp that just had to go home with me.
What’s next?
Staying in Uzès for 25 days means I want to see what it’s like living here. .. not just being a tourist. So, after three days, I’m beginning to settle in. That means I’m stocking up the fridge and beginning to learn my way around. After spending a leisurely morning in the loggia enjoying my coffee, chocolate croissant, and a Bach piano concerto on the stereo, I set out for a walking tour of the neighborhood. Join me.
