Tips from the Community
The whole area around Uzès is a cycling paradise, hilly but generous, with many paths also in the forests (forest fire service roads - D.F.C.I.). We always ride from the same village and vary the circuits.

The magnificent little town of Vers-pont-du-gard is a must-see because it is crossed by numerous remains and various aqueducts that lead to the majestic Pont du Gard.

It is located in the right aisle of the church and is surrounded by an ornate wrought iron grille bearing his coat of arms. The coffin commemorates the bishop who also commissioned the rebuilding of the church in the 18th century.

The Église Saint‑Étienne is a late Baroque church in Uzès, southern France. It was built between 1764 and 1774 on the ruins of an earlier church destroyed during the Huguenot Wars. The original 13th-century bell tower was preserved and incorporated into the new building. The church is built in the Jesuit style, with a Greek cross floor plan, a dome, a richly decorated interior, and a curved façade with Baroque elements. It was listed as a historic monument in 1974 and extensively restored between 2009 and 2016. Today, it is a quiet, well-kept place in the center of Uzès, valued for its architecture and spiritual atmosphere. Along with the Cathedral of Saint‑Théodorit, it is one of the city's most important religious buildings.
