Uzes, City of Art and History, is a hidden gem which is located between Arles, Nimes and Avignon. Its charming medieval town is well preserved and a pleasure to explore. Uzes is the second town I visited after Nimes (25km to the southwest).

Nimes, a city in the southern France, was once a regional capital of Ancient Rome. Today it still has some impressive Roman monuments such as the Arena of Nimes (amphitheater) and Maison Carree.  Since it is located not too far away from Avignon (about 45km) where I stayed, I decided to join a half day tour to see the city of Nimes, Uzes and Pont du Gard.
