Unearthed at an antique store in Uzès, this bench was originally handcrafted by skilled woodworkers in a remote village in the Pyrenees and was designed to be seating in a rural farmhouse. Its simple design reflects the practical beauty of rural life, where form and function must coexist harmoniously. Over the years, this bench has welcomed countless visitors, offering them a moment of respite from their journeys.

Uzès, a hidden gem in the south of France is where this story begins. Situated between Provence and the Languedoc, this medieval town is known for its winding cobblestone streets, grand Renaissance architecture, and the striking Duchy of Uzès. With roots tracing back to Roman times, Uzès has been shaped by diverse cultural influences, from ancient aqueducts to aristocratic estates.

Surrounded by sprawling vineyards, ancient olive groves, and the peaceful countryside of Occitanie, Uzès is just as serene as it sounds. It is here where Sylvie put on her comfortable shoes and got lost wandering these ancient streets and its nearby villages.

Sylvie explored age-worn courtyards, connected with local antique dealers, and sifted through forgotten spaces to curate a selection that brings to life Uzès’ storied past.
