Locality (close to: Uzès)
Our village:
Vallabrix is a small, typical village, 7 kms from the old medieval town of Uzès and a short drive from shops and essential services at St Quentin La Poterie. Avignon is 45 kms by car, Nîmes only 30 kms. The Camargue wildlife reserve on the Mediterranean coast is about an hour from here. Aix en Provence and the beautiful Luberon are a little further to the North.
Activities:
Uzès is a delightful old town that from a distance looks Tuscan with its three medieval towers against the skyline. The Ducal palace there has a fine Renaissance facade, but the real charm about Uzès are the old streets and the sleepy main square and fountain, lined with arcaded houses. The Saturday morning market is very popular and people come from miles around to shop and meet friends. The town also has a golf course, tennis courts, a swimming pool and riding stables.
Saint Quentin La Poterie has a choice of shops including a small supermarket, several boulangeries, a good butcher and a press that carries a range of European papers. Market day is every Friday morning where you can buy gleaming fresh local fruit and vegetables, cheeses and charcuterie, olives or flowers and sometimes fabrics and basketware. This is a village of potters, who make a range of imaginative pottery that is essential Provence. There is usually an exhibition of their work and you can visit their studios and watch them at work (bring an extra bag!).
There are several canoe kayak bases on the Le Gardon and La Cèze rivers and rafting on the Ardèche river an hour away. There are several golf courses within a reasonable drive and two bicycles are available at the house. Others can easily be hired.
A day out will take you to Avignon, its shops and the amazing Popes Palace or the huge two week Music and Theatre Festival in July, perhaps via the 2000 year old Pont du Gard. Or to Nîmes and Orange and their Roman treasures, and Arles with its memories of Van Gogh. The Camargue is an hour from here, where you may be lucky enough to see the scores of pink flamingoes or the wild bulls. The beaches are near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. About 90 minutes away is the Luberon, celebrated in the book 'A Year in Provence', and the lovely villages of Gordes and Roussillon, Menerbes or Lacoste.
