Uzès (Occitan: Usès) is a small town and a commune in the Gard department in southern France.
It lies about 25 km north-northeast of Nîmes.
Originally Ucetia, Uzès was a small Gallo-Roman oppidum, or administrative settlement. The town lies at the source of the Eure, from where a Roman aqueduct was built in the first century BC, to supply water to the local city of Nîmes, 50 km (31 mi) away. The most famous stretch of the aqueduct is the Pont du Gard, which carried fresh water over splendid arches across the river Gardon.
The civilized and tolerant urban life of 5th-century Uzès contrasted with the Frankish north. Jews were apparently settled there as early as the 5th century. Saint Ferréol, Bishop of Uzès, allegedly admitted them to his table; on this account complaint was made of him to King Childebert I, whereupon the bishop was obliged to change his attitude toward the Jews, compelling all those who would not become Christians to leave Uzès. After his death (581) many who had received baptism returned to Judaism. Jews were expelled from the region in 614.
http://tourvideos.com/ Uzès is a charming, small town in the south of France, with pretty pedestrian lanes, a lovely main square, fine restaurants, and a friendly ambience. The historic buildings date back to the Renaissance and Middle Ages, constructed of limestone and brick surdy enough to last 500 years. We are in Languedoc, just west of Provence, in a town the ancient Romans developed because nearby was their source of water for a great aqueduct that nourished their provincial capital in Nimes, including a passage through the famous Pont du Gard, several miles away. It makes a great visit from a home base in Avignon, which can be arranged with a tour company such as Provence Reservation, who drove us there in small vans, with commentary by excellent local guides.
Uzès est une commune française, située dans le département du Gard et la région Languedoc-Roussillon. Ses habitants sont appelés Uzétiens. Uzès est qualifiée de premier duché de France, ce titre n'étant lié au duché qu'en raison de l'ordre de préséance dans la hiérarchie de la noblesse, attribuée au duc d'Uzès en 1632 par Louis XIII, alors roi de France. Le titre était lié à l'homme et non à ses terres. Elle est la ville principale de l'Uzège. La naissance d'Uzès irait de pair avec la construction du pont du Gard qui amenait l'eau de la fontaine d'Eure jusqu'à Nîmes. Présence très probable d'un oppidum sur le plateau qui accueillera la futur cité. Évêché à partir du ve siècle jusqu'à la Révolution Française. Il fut supprimé en 1817. Successivement vicomté et comté en 1486, elle devint duc...

It is part of the Nîmes aqueduct, a 50 km-long (31 mi) structure built by the Romans to carry water from a spring at Uzès to the Roman colony of Nemausus (Nîmes). Because the terrain between the two points is hilly, the aqueduct -- built mostly underground -- took a long, winding route that crossed the gorge of the Gardon, requiring the construction of an aqueduct bridge. Built in the 1st century AD, the Pont du Gard is the highest of all Roman aqueduct bridges and is, with the Aqueduct of Segovi...

(Verse1)
Where's life led me
Have I ended up somewhere
That I'll soon to be
Regretting
Cause my heart was heavy
But right now it doesn't
Feel at all like I'm back
From the past
And these places and
Faces in front of me(oh)
How they look so familiar(so familiar)
But somehow on my journey
I ended up somewhere
I feel I belong
(Chorus)
Feels like I walked a million miles
So far away,So many trials
Happy to see with open eyes
So good to be
Back from alone
Didn't realized the missing piece
Me all along but now I see
And you're still waiting here for me
So good to be
Back from alone
(Verse2)
I could tell you stories
And looking back I could see things coming
But it must have been meant for me
No sacrifice no glory
I admit it gave a little more
Than I really had
But its for the best now
Sometimes getting back what you
want takes some heartaches, sense and
Some letdowns
I feel so refreshed now
But the difference this time it will last
No going back
Couldn't figure it out for the life of me(Why)
Why I always felt out of place there(out of place there)
Where I never felt quite as comfortable
Now I see that I made it home
(See that I made it home)
(Chorus)
Feels like I walked a million miles
So far away,So many trials
Happy to see with open eyes
So good to be
Back from alone(Back from alone)
Didn't realized the missing piece
Me all along but now I see
And you're still waiting here for me(Here for me)
So good to be(So good to be)
Back from alone
(Verse3)
Been away,Too long
I've forgot how good it feels
To be back to what is real
I wish I had never left
No more pain,No more tears
I'm just glad that I'm back again
All the places have come and gone
But so glad to be
Back from alone
(Chorus)
Feels like I walked a million miles
So far away,So many trials(yeah,yeah)
Happy to see(yeah,yeah) with open eyes
So good to be(So good to be)
(Yeah,Yeah)Back from alone
Didn't realized the missing piece
Me all along but now I see(now i see)
And you're still waiting here for me(So good to be)
So good to be
(ohh)Back from alone
Heyyy
Yeah,yeah,
