Slow Travelling in Uzès

12th September 2019

Description

Uzès is a small town and a commune in the Gard department in southern France. It lies about 25 kilometres north-northeast of Nîmes, 40 kilometres west of Avignon, and 32 kilometres south-east of Alès. Wikipedia

If it’s Thursday it must be Uzès! 

We left Saint-Remy de Provence with not much planned other than a leisurely day trip to Uzès for a wander, a visit with our favourite artist, David Jamin and some lunch in the main square Place aux Herbes. 

Monsieur Honey and I spent a week in Uzès, five years ago as part of my “changing of my front door” Birthday celebrations. 

We were lucky to find street parking within easy walking distance to the centre-ville. Of course it was just opposite a brocante/ antique store one of Monsieur Honey’s favourite things to do.

A quick look around and we were on our way.  

Uzès (oo-zehs) is another town that is circled by a ring road with the historic area in the center. 

The teddy bears were still hanging around at this shoppe.

We discovered an unique florist shop with Uzès pottery containing heart shaped succulents ...

We wondered how we could get these back to Canada.

Our entourage popped our heads in and out of various unique boutiques and shoppes as we wandered.

And before we knew it the church bells were ringing “12 bells” ... 

time for some lunch in Place aux Herbes, also a great place to people watch.

It was a seafood feast! 

Now let’s visit David and Severine’s new gallery! 

It’s down here ... 

We were warmly greeted as always. 

We toured the new addition to the gallery and had a good visit.

His work continues to be impressive.

Sadly no artwork souvenir this year. That just means we have to go back.
