Vaison-la-Romaine
Vaison-la-Romaine is a picturesque medieval town, beautifully situated by the Ouvèze river at the foot of the majestic, renowned Mont Ventoux. A holiday in Vaison-la-Romaine offers good possibilities for exciting trips into the beautiful Provencal hinterland. Vaison-la-Romaine lies in a region of beautiful natural scenery, surrounded by olive groves, lavender, cypresses, cedars and pine trees. Vaison-la-Romaine is not far, either, from the two well known wine districts, Château-neuf-du-Pape and Gigondas.

  • The ruins

In Vaison-la-Romaine two archaeological sites display a magnitude of historic relics.

A Roman bridge leads into the quarter with the sites. In the “upper site” there are ruins, statues, mosaics and a beautiful Roman theatre, one of the best preserved from Emperor Augustus’ time. The theatre is still used for cultural events in the summertime. In the “lower site” you will find a handful of buildings, also from Emperor Augustus’ time, Maison de Messii, the villa of a wealthy family, Portico de Pompey, an elegant public building with columns and Nymphaeum, which, at the time, provided water to the town.

Another major attraction is the medieval quarter, Haute ville, from the 13th century.

It is situated on top of a rocky spur and has the ruins of a castle, once the summer residence of the Dukes of Toulouse. There are small shady squares, ancient doorways and narrow cobbled streets, fountains and several mansions from the 16th and 18th century. From the top of Haute ville you can enjoy the superb views of the surrounding countryside.
