Uzès, 1690.
On the Place aux Herbes, Pierre isn't just selling serge cloth.
He is selling his future.
The son of a craftsman and a Protestant in a bishop’s town, he gazes at the stylish facades that overlook the narrow streets. One day, he will have his own. A carved doorway. Tall windows. A prestigious address.
Each delivery brings him closer to his dream.
Each contract he signs brings him a little closer to the mansions in the shadow of the Duchy of Uzès.
Uzès thrives. The cloth trade is booming. Fortunes are being made.
But beneath the pale stones, tension still lingers.
Pierre is protected by the Edict of Nantes.
Protected… for now.
Because, standing before Uzès Cathedral, he knows that his success hinges on a delicate balance. His faith can open networks… or close doors.
This tour begins through the lens of his ambition and his doubts.
An immersive experience in a city on the rise, where dreams of greatness always progress with a shadow following close behind.
