Aubussargues and Uzès charm visitors with their beauty and rich history. Just 8 kilometres apart, these two towns offer a striking contrast whilst complementing each other perfectly.
Aubussargues, a peaceful village of 355 inhabitants, captivates with its authentic Provençal charm. Its church, its 19th-century Protestant chapel and its washhouse on the banks of the Bourdic bear witness to its past. The Château, which is privately owned, is not open to visitors, but its exterior architecture is well worth a look.
Uzès, designated a ‘Town of Art and History’, boasts a medieval town centre with picturesque narrow streets lined with Renaissance houses. Its famous Duché, overlooking the town, houses the Georges Borias Museum, which traces the history of the region. The Place aux Herbes, bustling with its markets, and Saint-Théodorit Cathedral, a Romanesque gem, complete this striking panorama.
Aubussargues offers a haven of peace for nature lovers and walkers. The GR6 trail runs through the village, inviting visitors to explore the rolling countryside and surrounding vineyards.
Uzès, a livelier town, offers a wide range of activities. Stroll through its markets, visit its many museums and art galleries, catch a show at the Théâtre Antique, or sample local specialities in its gourmet restaurants.
