In Uzès, 200 meters from the Place aux Herbes, an old silk factory transformed into a characterful residence, with its enclosed garden and view of the Duchy. Elevated two stories above a garden level and oriented along a north-south axis, the former silk factory, covering an area of approximately 420 m², was built by the wealthy bourgeoisie of Uzès on an avenue that was once opened and developed for show. The houses, with facades made of regular Vers stonework, were reserved for the local nobility or the wealthy commercial bourgeoisie of the city. The cornices marking the separation between the floors and the frames of the openings are also sculpted from Vers stone, whose immediately identifiable characteristic is its light and bright blonde color. Pierced with wide openings spaced far apart on three levels, the former sericulture building has been transformed into a characterful residence. The double-glazed windows are fitted with four-panel wooden shutters painted white. On the ground floor, facing the boulevard, the entrance door is located at the edge of a garden of approximately 1,300 m², enclosed to the north by a long wall that runs along the street, which protects the property and maintains its tranquility intact. The sculpted cornice at the eave supports a roof covered with Roman tiles, typical of the local architecture. Legend has it that this uniformity of roofs was decided after the war, at the time of Liberation, as a result of a consultation between André Malraux, then the Minister of Culture of liberated France, and the dowager duchess, a first-hour resistance fighter, who wished to see, from the windows of her ducal residence, only roofs of traditional Roman tiles. Thus, it was done.
