Uzes is a town with
many fountains, some of which clearly state that the water is drinkable (eau potable). La Fontaine Saint Theodorit is a very ancient fountain, where it is said that the story of Uzes began. There are remnants of ancient Greek fortifications nearby. We couldn't actually
see this fountain as it was down some steps and closed off by an iron grill but the inscribed post marks its spot. The largest fountain stands in the middle of Place aux Herbes, which is the hub of the town where the market takes place every Saturday and Wednesday. The square is surrounded by many cafes and restaurants. We had some delicious burgers there at Bistro Burger this afternoon. ( I know, not very French, but I do have a picky 10 year old with me.)
