Photo scavenger hunts seem to be all the rage at the moment. They’re also quite easy, as just about everyone has a camera on their phone. This could be a fun activity to enjoy during a Week in Uzès culinary tour. I thought that Uzès, which it’s rich history and architecture, would be the perfect city for this.
What is a Photo Scavenger Hunt?
A photo scavenger hunt is a fun, dynamic way to see a city rather than taking a tour. The pamphlet here guides you through the city at your own leisure while giving you some history. This can be done in a small or large group. It’s also a great excuse to find yourself with photos at the end of the day that serves as not only souvenirs but a real sense of the town.
There are only 3 photos to take on this scavenger hunt as the pamphlet (meant to be printed and folded into three) was made for visitors that would only be in the city for a short time. You can find the answers at the end of this post!
My challenge
If you have all day, I challenge you to also find the following:
- An interesting gargoyle
- A colorful door
- An archway over a small street
- A very small window (about a foot high) called a fenestron by the French
- A board with a restaurant’s plat du jour or dish of the day
- An artisanal pottery store
- A delicious confection
- A dog on a café table chair
- A plane tree
- An olive tree
- A straw market bag
- A statue
- A fountain
- A charming courtyard
- A clock on the outside of a building
- A beautiful view
For the Photography Enthusiasts
Take your time with the photos. If you see a beautiful door, step back and frame it evenly. Remember, you’re in the South of France if you have to wait for people to get out of the way, don’t worry.
Have fun!
