The Gard Provençal harbors a region replete with charm, where vineyards, olive groves, and lavender fields converge to delight the senses. Commonly known as the Uzège, this natural territory is comprised of the city of Uzès and the enchanting surrounding communes. It offers its residents a privileged living environment amidst preserved nature. Michaël Zingraf Real Estate presents the most beautiful villages around Uzès where investing in luxury real estate is most auspicious.
Uzès, a city of history at the heart of an exceptional natural heritage
At the crossroads of Provence, Languedoc, the Cévennes, and the Camargue, the Uzès region boasts a natural heritage of great wealth. Surrounded by untamed garrigue and magnificent landscapes, the area is sought after by clients in pursuit of authentic and prestigious properties. In Uzès, buyers can find charming village houses with character, as well as several luxurious apartments. But the commune is not only praised for its beautiful surrounding nature: nicknamed "the First Duchy of France," Uzès also possesses a remarkably preserved historical heritage, with nearly 40 classified historical monuments.
The most beautiful villages of the Uzès country
The Uzège is home to a myriad of enchanting villages. These small communes, ideal for living, are nestled in the heart of an area of ecological, faunal, and floral interest, while being close to Nîmes, Alès, and Avignon. A highly coveted sector, offering several period country houses and master houses, as well as elegant contemporary villas with swimming pools.
Arpaillargues-et-Aurillac
Arpaillargues-et-Aurillac captivates buyers with its immediate proximity to Uzès, its significant historical heritage, and the lush nature that stretches as far as the eye can see around the village. Developed around the château, this charming commune is now one of the most sought-after in the region.
Montaren-et-Saint-Médiers
Located a stone's throw from Uzès, Montaren-et-Saint-Médiers is unique in being built upon a "mountain of sand" (Monte Arena). This situation affords it a singular luminosity and an exceptional panorama over the wonders of the Gard Provençal. A center of olive, wine, and cereal production since the Middle Ages, the commune also boasts a rich historical heritage.
Saint-Maximin
Like the two previously mentioned villages, Saint-Maximin is situated just a few kilometers from Uzès. Home to the Château Racine (where the famed writer once stayed), this picturesque and sun-drenched village is now one of the most renowned in the area. Its inhabitants cherish its gentle way of life, the beauty of its period buildings, and the richness of its natural heritage.
Vers-Pont-du-Gard
Famed for its iconic aqueduct bridge that gave the village its name (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Vers-Pont-du-Gard is located about ten kilometers from Uzès but remains highly coveted. The village houses, all constructed from Vers stone, stand out with their ochre-colored facades, while the old town is home to superb water features, including the Grand Font and Font d'Izière washhouses. The commune also owes its success to the numerous activities it offers on the equipped beaches of the Gardon.
Lussan
Located about twenty kilometers from Uzès, Lussan boasts a historically preserved heritage (including stunning ramparts), and offers a breathtaking view over the flower-strewn countryside of the Uzège due to its location (the village is perched atop a rocky pinnacle), the Cévennes, and Mont Ventoux. The commune, labeled "Village of Character," is also ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. It is today one of the most prized destinations in the region.
