The Benefits of the "City of Art and History" Label for Real Estate in Uzès

A mark of excellence serving living heritage

Awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, the “City of Art and History” label honors towns that are actively engaged in the preservation, transmission, and promotion of their architectural and cultural heritage. Uzès, the first town in Occitanie to receive this recognition, fully embodies its spirit: architectural harmony, enhancement of historic buildings, and an exceptional quality of life.

This label does more than protect the town—it makes it desirable. And that desirability is clearly reflected in the high-end real estate market, where heritage becomes a powerful vector of value.

A magnet for discerning buyers

For both French and international buyers, this label serves as a guarantee of timelessness, refinement, and cultural integrity. In Uzès, they’re investing in more than just property—they’re buying into an authentic, protected lifestyle, vibrant year-round.

• A beautifully maintained historic center
• Strict planning regulations to preserve architectural harmony
• A rich cultural calendar (concerts, exhibitions, festivals)...

As a result, demand for character-filled homes, private mansions, restored village houses, period apartments, is steadily rising, especially in the historic core.

A strategic asset for sellers

For property owners, the “City of Art and History” label is a powerful advantage. It confers a rare heritage positioning: a sense of prestige, long-term desirability, and lasting value. At equal quality, a home located in a labeled town often enjoys higher perceived value and stronger resale potential.

At Sotheby’s International Realty Uzès, we see a growing interest in these properties—those that blend architectural charm, heritage integrity, and outstanding lifestyle appeal.
