We spent most of today wandering this beautiful medieval walled town approximately 40 minutes outside of Nimes. Known today as the “city of art and history”, Uzès was called Ucetia by the Romans. Near Uzes, the Romans constructed the massive aqueduct know today as the “Pont du Gard”, which directed water to the city of Nemausus (modern day Nimes).

Saturday is Uzès’ market day, which was actually our motivation for visiting. However, once the stalls started to close down for the day, and after we had lunch at a hidden little sandwich shop, D and I enjoyed the quiet town while many businesses shut down for siesta.
