Village Scenes in UZÈS: Public Services
One morning, I was awakened by a strange sound in the street beneath my window. Horses were braying below.
Like a child looking for Saint Nicholas, I jumped out of 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.

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 times, watches over the village. Its courtyard offers 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 life in my beloved Uzès.
Uzès might not be a grand metropolis, but it’s got a rhythm, a heartbeat that draws you in. The everyday moments become memories, the people you meet, and how this place makes you feel alive. I love Uzès, in all its unassuming, timeless glory.
