A visit to Uzes

We have finally made a visit to the town of Uzes, in the Gard.

Taking a route through Avignon and passed the magnificent Pont du Gard (also worth stopping at) it is about 100 minutes drive but well worth it!

The impressive Cathedral .



And something not seen in our own area are the covered arcades which keep the shops cool.
Even before noon the restaurants in the main square are filling fast!

Such a glorious French scene, the square, fountain and plane trees.

And some quite unusual shops!
The town mouse catcher caught napping!
(it was lunchtime)

And if you want to get away from the bustling square it is easy to lose your self in the back streets. 

Certainly a good day out and a town worth visiting.
