As it seems with most small towns in France, Uzes is perched on a bit of a hill. On once side flows the Alzon river which has produced a fairly substantial tree covered gorge. You can look into the gorge from the terraced walkways around the cathedral.
I need to get at least 10K of steps each day, so on "rest days" I would usually head out looking for a walk. And after a bit of exploring a found a fun 8K walk in the gorge.
The following is my photo-journey:
 |
| Turn left past the news agent |
 |
| Continue on past the underground parking |
 |
| Approaching the side of the cathederal |
 |
| The path starts next to the cthederal |
 |
| I have not tried the drinking water |
 |
| This structure is part of the cathedral foundation |
 |
| Maybe it was a hot tub for the nuns in the old days? |
 |
| Now we are on the path |
 |
| After a while it becomes a bit more natural |
 |
| This building maybe be a renovated mill because it has water running thru it |
 |
| There is the water! |
 |
| The path merges with a roadway for a bit, and some fancy houses. |
 |
| Back on the walking path |
 |
| The walking path becomes a public right of way over private property |
 |
| A gate, The owner makes it clear you are now walking on private property |
 |
| Cathedral up on the hill |
 |
| Back into trees |
 |
| Now down to water level |
 |
| Quite a few old weirs that accumulated water for the old mills |
 |
| One of the old mills |
 |
| Another old weir |
 |
| Another old mill |
 |
| Now into the public park and picnic area |
 |
| Steep path back up to the town |
