Uzès

Uzès, a tiny town in the Gard department of southern France's Occitanie region, carries the historic title of "premier duché de France" — a precedence granted by Charles IX to the Duke of Uzès in 1565. Set within the Gorges du Gardon and drained by several rivers, it sits in Mediterranean wine country with a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
