Uzès, capital of the region called l'Uzège, is situated in the center of the Ales-Nimes-Avignon triangle, where garrigues alternate with vineyards and fields.

The famous Uzes Provencal market takes place on a Saturday under the arcades of the Place aux Herbes and along the adjacent streets with old houses from the Renaissance period which have Roman and Medieval vestiges.
