Discover Vaison-la-Romaine
Listed among “France’s Most Beautiful Detours” and labeled a “Small Town of Character”, Vaison-la-Romaine is a historical gem bridging antiquity and the Middle Ages.
Wander through the largest archaeological park in France, featuring the ancient Roman sites of Puymin and Villasse. Explore the Roman theatre, the Théo Desplans museum, and admire statues, mosaics, and everyday objects from Roman life.
Cross the Roman bridge to reach the medieval town perched above. Its cobbled streets, feudal castle, and lively market square offer a peaceful and authentic atmosphere.
Vaison-la-Romaine is also home to two magnificent cathedral churches:
- Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption, in the heart of the old town, adorned with modern stained glass windows by Kim En-joong
- Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth, below the hill, with its peaceful and historic cloister
A truly unique place where ancient heritage, Provençal lifestyle, and exceptional landscapes meet — with Mont Ventoux as a majestic backdrop.
