Uzège county and the Pont-du-Gard

Uzes is often called "little Toscany" for its vineyards separated by dark cypresses, village squares, country mansions, culture, and its Renaissance buildings. All this makes the County very attractive and offers a unique quality of life.

The Uzès County is also a region known for its carved stones, from the Gallo-Roman quarry of the village of Vers, used for building the aqueduct of Pont-du-Gard and nearby houses. Also, the stones of la Guarrigue gave birth to several little stone cottages, which we call: "Les Capitelles".
