Nestled in the heart of Uzès, the Duchy of Uzès is an impressive structure whose origins lie in its military past, embodied by its imposing keep, the 12th-century Tour Bermonde, as well as its ramparts and corner towers. However, it's the Renaissance façade that gives it its special aura, a true architectural gem.
This remarkable Renaissance facade, built in the 16th century, is a true work of art, blending the classical orders of architecture, notably Ionic, Doric and Corinthian. The fact that these three orders are harmoniously superimposed on the same facade is a rarity, testifying to the artistic refinement of the period.
Over the centuries, the Duchy of Uzès has witnessed the history of France, reflected in the evolution of its facades. The influences of the Grand Siècle and the 18th century can be seen in the large windows that open onto the garden's main courtyard, giving the place a timeless elegance.
Visitors to this site steeped in history can explore the almost thousand-year-old cellars, enjoy the breathtaking view of the city and surrounding area from the top of the keep, and admire the furnished apartments still inhabited by the ducal family. Visitors to the Duchy of Uzès can look forward to a veritable journey through time, where architecture, history and daily life combine to create a unique and unforgettable experience. Website
