Take advantage of the markets and antique fairs

_If you like markets, you can't miss Uzès' market on Saturday morning, one of the best in the South of France.  It gets busy starting at about 11am during the summer, but go early and you won't be disappointed, it is one of the best to be found.  It is a real, authentic Provençal market with local goods—the same people who are there in the summer are also there in the winter.
