Sylvie snatched this exciting find at a local Brocante in Uzès. This faux bamboo oak coat rack, designed in the mid 20th century, stood proudly in the entryway of Provincial Farmhouse. Its bamboo-inspired design was a nod to the fascination with exotic styles during the time. Over the years, it held the coats and hats of guests attending grand soirées and intimate gatherings alike.

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.
