Le jardin médiéval d’Uzès et ses tours

In the heart of Uzès, a medieval-inspired botanical garden on a historic site dating back to the 12th century.
Host to exhibitions and concerts. Exceptional panoramic view of the city from the King's tower.

A medieval-inspired botanical garden featuring some 450 medicinal, dyeing, foraging, magic and condiment plants, duly labeled with Latin and popular names, origin and biotope, virtues and multiple uses in the Middle Ages. Situated in the heart of the ducal city of Uzès, this living herbarium appreciated by insects and birds is nestled in the heart of a rich historical heritage dating back to the 12th century.
The Bishop's Tower and adjacent chapel feature exceptional prisoner graffiti, and the King's Tower, from the top of its 100 steps, offers an admirable panorama of the town and its surroundings. The various buildings served as a prison until 1926.
Art and educational exhibitions in the rooms adjacent to the towers and in the former cells throughout the period of public opening. Two or three concerts a year at the foot of the King's Tower.
A refreshing herbal tea is offered at the end of the tour.
