Bermonde Tower by Chateau of Uzès

SAINT THEODORIT CATHEDRAL

Rue du Portalet,  30700 Uzès  Tel: +33 (0)46 62 26 888

It is believed a place of worship has stood on this site since Roman times.
The cathedral dates from the Middle Ages, built next to the Bishop’s Palace,
the former seat of the Bishops of Uzès.
It has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, what we see today dates to the 19th century.
Prior to the French Revolution it would have been sumptuously decorated
but only the organ remains from these times.
Visitors today admire its quiet, simplicity.

THE FENESTRELLE TOWER

Rue du Portalet,  30700 Uzès Tel:+33 (0)4 66 22 68 88

Sometimes called the tower of windows,

it is the only campanile tower of Lombard style in France.

Dating from the eleventh century, surviving the many attempts to destroy it,
