No frills restaurant run by a Marrocan / French couple, La Rose has the most delicious lamb shanks, generous steaks and a fun, local atmosphere. The menu is large and has something for everyone, and most weekends they have live music. Reservations recomended.

Drinks & Nightlife
The bars on the square at Saint Quentin are lovely, and are a nice change from the bustling Uzes markets. Friday morning is the bigger one, with everything you could wish for, whilst tuesday is the smaller producers organic market.

There is also food and wine, and lots of locals.

Arts & Culture
Nimes is a beautiful Roman town, with the biggest Roman Arena outside of Italy. The Maison Carree temple sits opposite Norman Foster s Carre d'Art (modern art museum) and Courtois has delicious cakes & pastries. The Semaphore Cinema is also one of my favourite places, with a great foreign selection and children s program.

Everything Else
The Uzes flea market is every Sunday morning, and a great treasure hunt for anyone who likes antiques, old knick knacks and bargains for a steal.
