This week in the agenda

Château d'Uzès stands in Uzès (Gard), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 12th century, 19th century). Adult admission costs 24 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 8, 2026.

The château d'Uzès, also called the Duché, overlooks the old town on a site occupied since Roman times. Visitors come for the Bermonde tower, a 42-metre keep dating from the 12th century, for the Renaissance façade of the seigneurial residence and for the flamboyant Gothic chapel with its glazed tile roof. Held by the same family since the Middle Ages, it forms with the Tour du Roi and the Tour de l'Évêque a group unique in France, symbolising the three powers of medieval society.
