Visit to the Chateau in Uzes




Gisele and the Duke de Crussol d'Uzes



Chateau d'Uzes



Sunday Sept. 20 was this year's "Journee du Patrimoine" in France which is when most public monuments have free admission, and many private chateaux and domains can only be visited on this one day a year. We took the opportunity to view the Chateau d'Uzes in the center of our town. It's very impressive with structural parts dating back 1000 years and still occupied by descendants of the original family.

After the visit to the chateau we went to the "Jardin Medieval" in Uzes which is a garden containing plants which existed in homes during the Middle Ages.
