The heart of the city is overflowing with mansions built during the urban redevelopment that began in the 16th century and continued until the 18th century. The great families of notables were thus able to ostentatiously display their social position.

Classified as a "Ville d'art et d'histoire" and one of France's 1st "secteurs sauvegardés", the historic center of Uzès is sure to charm you. Discover the Duchy of Uzès, the Cathedral, the Medieval Garden, the Place aux Herbes and the Eure Valley. The milestones in the history of Uzès, from Roman times to the present day. Ucetia, a city of water The first traces of human settlement in Uzès were found on the banks of the Alzon, around the Eure spring. At the beginning of our era, the Romans captured abundant water here. It was carried to Nîmes by a 50 km aqueduct, of which the Pont du Gard is the most remarkable part. Uzès, city of bishops The bishopric of Uzès was created in the 5th century A.D. on the model of Roman organization. Until the French Revolution, the bishops of Uzès were said to have coined money and administered justice: prerogatives that testify to their great power. In the 18th century, the diocese of Uzès comprised 193 parishes, making it one of the largest in the Languedoc region. Uzès, past and present Uzès, 1st Duchy of France In 1229, Languedoc, of which Uzès is a part, became part of the French crown. In 1565, Charles IX elevated the Comte de Crussol to the dignity of duke to ensure his loyalty to the crown. In 1632, the Duc d'Uzès became 1st Duke of France. The Duchy, located in the heart of the town, still belongs to the ducal family, who have lived there for over 1000 years. Uzès, Huguenot In the 16th century, Uzès was the fifth-largest Protestant city in the kingdom. But the Uzès temple was destroyed during the Wars of Religion. In 1685, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes: Uzès Protestants either converted or chose to emigrate throughout Europe. Uzès in the industrial revolution Uzès and the surrounding area were home to numerous mills, now in ruins, but which had been used since the 15th century to manufacture serges and woollen cloth, leather and silk. But silkworm disease led to the decline of sericulture, which employed some 2,000 people in Uzès until the end of the 19th century. It was then that the railway station was set up outside the town, and two new activities were developed: the production of utilitarian and artistic ceramics, and licorice-making. These activities still exist today: Zan, the flagship of Uzès' licorice factories, has become Haribo - Ricqlès - Zan, and the Pichon family's pottery, present in Uzès since 1802, perpetuates tradition and know-how and contributes to making Uzès an internationally renowned destination. Uzès, past and present Beautiful Uzès In the 20th century, Uzès was given a new lease of life when its city center was designated a "protected area" on January 5, 1965. Since then, Uzès has continued to embellish itself: streets have been paved, electrical wires have been hidden, 12 hectares of property were restored in 1965, and today 41 hectares of the town have been classified under the Malraux law. Since the early 1950s, economic development has picked up again, thanks to tourism and the installation of major establishments such as the departmental psychiatric hospital and the new local hospital, the Haribo company, the Haras National stud farm and numerous SMEs. Classified as a "Ville d'art et d'histoire" since November 2008, Uzès enjoys an international reputation, and visitors from all over the world come to stroll its streets and admire its heritage.

The consuls' house, which housed the former town hall as early as the 15th century, was destroyed by fire in the 18th century. From 1779 to 1781, the town hall was rebuilt on the same site, by order of the bishop who owned the land. The façade is reminiscent of the town hall. The building's layout is based on the traditional French-style mansion between courtyard and garden. The monumental portal is an example of Uzétienne's remarkable ironwork.

From the 5th century to the French Revolution, Uzès was the episcopal see, with its cathedral built in 1090. Destroyed during the Albigensian War, rebuilt then destroyed during the Wars of Religion, the current cathedral dates from 1652. The neo-Romanesque façade was plastered over the old building in 1873. The rib-vaulted interior was probably richer than it appears today. Inside, the 17th-century organs can still be seen. The organs have the unusual feature of still having their original shutters. A number of concerts are organized to showcase the quality of this instrument.

Born in Uzès in 1747, Gabriel de Froment d'Argilliers, Baron de Castille, inherited a building that he had transformed into a private mansion during the first quarter of the 19th century. His taste for Antique Rome and columns is notorious and characterizes the style. The CR initials on the façade are those of his union with a young girl from the Rohan family, of which he was so proud. The small footbridge spanning the alleyway links the block on which Baron's hanging gardens once stood. This enabled him to access his gardens without having to use the public highway. A man open to new ideas, he had a passion for travel and an immoderate taste for columns, as evidenced by the building's imposing peristyle. He was also responsible for the columns of the Pavillon Racine and the Château d'Argilliers.

Situated in the heart of Uzès, the Duchy's impressive structure reveals its military origins in its keep, the Bermonde Tower (12th century), its ramparts and its corner towers. The Renaissance façade is truly an architectural gem. The history of France continues to be told in the remarkable Renaissance façade (16th century) where the classical architectural orders - Ionic, Doric and Corinthian - are superimposed. It is very rare to find these three orders together on the same façade. The Grand Siècle and the 18th century are present on the facades with wide windows opening onto the main courtyard of the garden. In this journey through time, you will also discover the almost thousand-year-old cellars, the magnificent view from the top of the keep over the city and its surroundings, and the furnished apartments still inhabited by the ducal family.
