Uzès Real Estate: Town Houses and Mas in the Gard

Uzès is built around the Place aux Herbes, a covered arcade square, with a ducal palace, a cathedral tower and market days on Wednesday and Saturday. Around the town are vineyards, garrigue scrub and villages, and the Pont du Gard is a short drive. Avignon and Nîmes are both within day-trip range, and Montpellier is further south-west. Our site lists Nîmes, Avignon, Montpellier, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Marseille and Béziers as other markets.

Summers are hot and dry, and some villages are quiet in winter. Check for noise from town-centre bars if you are tempted by a house on the main square.

Non-residents can buy freely and can borrow from French banks, usually on lower loan-to-value than residents. Old stone houses need a survey for roofs, damp and any septic tank compliance. Read our France buying guide, the France country page and the mortgage calculator.
