Location
The region is home and inspiration to numerous visionaries including Robert Louis Stevenson, Anselm Kiefer, Le Docteur Perrier and Jean Racine. The area has been popularised in Kate Mosse's historical fiction Languedoc Trilogy.
The Frank Gehry's mountain-like tower at LUMA dominates new Arles and the region is a popular destination for consuming contemporary and traditional art, interior design and antiques.
Gastronomy, wine and fine regional produce also attract international connoisseurs to the local towns and countryside alike.
Some local geographic terminology:
Provençal evokes the general rustic sun-kissed spirit of the region with its roots in our close neighbour Provence which extends from the Rhône valley to the Italian border.
Occitanie - a regional administrative entity since 2016 combining former Languedoc-Roussillon - which remains synonymous with the wine region - and Midi-Pyrénées regions. It includes the Gard, as well as several others such as Hérault, Aude, Pyrénées-Orientales, and more.
Some resources continue to use the term Languedoc-Roussillon, so sometimes it helps to use both the old and new names when searching for a location.
The Gard - The administrative Department with code number (30)
The Garrigue - a general term for wild aromatic scrublands
Uzège and Pays d’Uzès - the area including villages circling the remarkable medieval cité of Uzès

The Village
The Village
15km from the medieval market town of Uzès, this is an extraordinary spot between Provence, The Cevennes, The Camargue and the Mediterranean. Nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Pont du Gard, Nîmes Arena, the ramparts of Aigues-Mortes and more, offer a destination rich in history and nature.
At its centre is the old hameau of ancient stone houses, a little park, a chapel and temple.
The village enjoyed its heyday in the 19th century thanks to its thermal baths which were directed by Doctor Perrier - of the world famous Perrier natural mineral water - until 1912.
Today Euzet remains a great location for exploring this diverse region and recharging your batteries all year round.
