18th-Century Stone House Near Uzès in the South of France
Located about five minutes from the historic town, the residence sits on a south-facing hillside overlooking the surrounding countryside and offers approximately 400 m² (4,306 ft²) of living space.
In the Gard region, Uzès is one of southern France’s most remarkably preserved historic towns. Its medieval streets and limestone façades converge around the arcaded Place aux Herbes, where weekly markets bring together olive oil producers, cheesemakers, and artisans, while the surrounding countryside unfolds in vineyards, cypress trees, and low limestone hills.
