Village Scenes in Uzès: Place aux Herbes on a Summer Day

Place aux Herbes

French lessons are taking over my life. My quest to learn the language well enough to speak French by December is keeping my feet planted in Uzès for a while. And my favorite place, Place aux Herbes on a summer day.  

There could be worse places to spend time, right? Here are some of the sights that are typical — and some not so likely —  this time of year.  The scene: the center of the village — the Place aux Herbes.

This vibrant meeting spot is where the rhythm of Uzès’ daily life unfolds. On Saturday and Wednesday mornings, it transforms from a bustling market with vendors’ stalls of fresh produce and local goods to a quieter, restful space in the afternoons.

Cafés line its edges, and friends gather to enjoy various samplings of south of France foods. Laughter and chatter fill the air.  In the evenings, the plaza is relaxed.  Soft lights cast a warm glow while locals and tourists alike enjoy the atmosphere, often accompanied by live music.

The Place aux Herbes is, indeed, the essence of Uzès. It’s the space where the community thrives.
