Listed castle Uzès (30)

Overlooking the village at the gateway to the Cévennes, this listed Historic Monument ranks among the most remarkable historic estates in the Gard region. Originally built on medieval foundations dating from the 14th century and extensively remodelled during the 17th and 18th centuries, it possesses the rare distinction of having remained in the same family for nearly seven centuries. Set within more than seven hectares (17 acres) of enclosed grounds, the estate perfectly combines the elegance of a grand aristocratic residence with the richness of an exceptional landscaped heritage. Designed in the English style, the park features sweeping lawns, majestic century-old Cedars of Lebanon, ginkgo trees, historic bamboo groves, a traditional kitchen garden and ornamental gardens. Its remarkable hydraulic features include a monumental water wheel (noria) and an elegant 17th- and 18th-century nymphaeum, while a Palladian-inspired swimming pool blends discreetly into this setting of rare harmony. Offering approximately 1,100 sq m (11,840 sq ft) of living accommodation across four levels, the château eloquently reflects several centuries of architectural evolution. Its magnificent Italian-style staircase, richly decorated with stucco work and mythological bas-reliefs, is regarded as one of the finest examples of its kind in Languedoc. A succession of grand reception rooms reveals generous proportions, abundant natural light and beautifully preserved period interiors, while the formal dining room retains its early 18th-century Italian frescoes. The principal drawing room houses an exceptionally rare panoramic wallpaper by the celebrated Réveillon manufactory, official supplier to the Court of Versailles, preserved in an outstanding original condition. The lower levels reveal the château's medieval origins through vaulted cellars, historic kitchens, a Renaissance laundry room and an impressive collection of original service areas. Extending to more than 1,850 sq m (19,910 sq ft), the outbuildings include a former silk mill converted into an elegant reception hall, an orangery, a traditional silkworm house (magnanerie), a library housed within one of the towers, stables and an 18th-century gatekeeper's house, together offering exceptional scope for a wide range of prestigious residential, cultural or hospitality projects. Our Opinion This estate unquestionably belongs among the finest historic châteaux in the Gard. Very few properties combine such an unbroken family history stretching back to the Middle Ages, architecture of such remarkable integrity, interiors of exceptional quality and landscaped grounds of this scale. The harmonious balance between the grandeur of the château, the remarkable heritage value of its outbuildings and the beauty of its gardens gives the estate an outstanding identity, making it one of the region's most distinguished historic properties. The estate also enjoys an exceptionally privileged location. It lies just thirty minutes from Nîmes and its TGV high-speed rail station, forty-five minutes from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Pont du Gard, and less than one hour from Montpellier, Arles and Avignon. At the heart of one of France's richest regions for both historic heritage and contemporary culture, it is within easy reach of internationally renowned institutions including Carré d'Art in Nîmes, LUMA Arles, MO.CO Montpellier and the Fondation Maeght. The private airfield of Alès-Deaux, only fifteen minutes away, further enhances its accessibility. A comprehensive and recent restoration, carried out with unwavering respect for authentic materials and the spirit of the property, has restored the estate to its full splendour while seamlessly incorporating the standards of contemporary comfort.
