Walks, hikes and mountain biking trails
A stone's throw from the Boutique Hôtel Entraigues****, near the municipal swimming pool, follow the path that will take you through the Parc du Duché and down to the Eure Valley where you will find the remains of a Roman aqueduct linking the town to Nîmes.
From here, you have many choices of GR marked hikes! For example, you can take a steep path to the platform with the orientation table and a stunning 360° view of Uzès and its surroundings, then descend on Saint Maximin, visit a wine estate or enjoy a tasting in a cellar before continuing through the vineyards and along the Haribo factory...
Since 2021, the Green Way, a 31 km cycle path, connects Beaucaire, the Pont du Gard to Uzès.
The national stud farm of Uzès - hold your horses
Enjoy your stay in the magnificent ducal city of Uzès to visit one of the last 4 national stud farms of France and especially one of the few that can still be visited.
Covering an area of 16 ha, this place is home to the headquarters of the Mediterranean Arc Territorial Delegation and hosts a very large number of annual events, in fact nearly 60!
Guided by enthusiasts from the horse world, you will learn about the history of the stud farm, its trades and various activities (breeding, show jumping, carriage driving, horse-ball, endurance, shows, etc.), but you will also be able to visit the horse-racing park as well as the tack room and obviously the stables.

Uzès golf course
Golf lovers, Uzès boasts a 9-hole course (PAR 36-3 Golf Stars in its category), which extends over 3 km! The course is ideal for both beginners and the most experienced players.
The golf course is a 7-minute drive from the Boutique Hotel Entraigues****.
Swimming and canoeing
HEATWAVE WARNING: Where are the best swimming spots?
The Gardon Gorges are an excellent swimming spot appreciated by families! Follow the D979 departmental road, pass the Saint Nicolas de Campagnac bridge and turn first left or continue and stop where you want near the beautiful village of Collias, 15 minutes from Uzès.
Along the Gorges you will find canoe-kayak rental companies and places to have a dip!
The first beaches of Montpellier or the Camargue are 1 hour's drive away. Some are served by public transport from Uzès
Thrills!
Take a hot air balloon ride and enjoy an aerial view of the scrubland and the villages surrounding the first ducal city in France...
Once the balloon is inflated, rise up from the ground for a 1-hour flight, then gradually fly over the rooftops of Uzès, until you can identify the ringroad around the city, and admire the Duchy and its lofty towers, nestling in the middle!
The view is breathtaking and the ride is well worth the effort, as it’s so unusual to float in the air and let your thoughts soar as you fly.
