Uzès is a small town in the Gard department, north of Nîmes, with a history dating from Roman times. The circular streets around the historical center were once walls that protected the Medieval castle in the 11th and 12th centuries.
The ancient center houses Le Duché, a medieval castle with four towers (pictured further below), the lovely Place aux Herbes with terrace cafés and surrounding arcades, and the tall Fenestrelle tower at the cathedral, fashioned after the Leaning Tower of Pisa (just below).
