In northern Vaucluse, Vaison-la-Romaine can be explored on both sides of the Ouvèze: ancient sites and the lower town on one bank, the medieval town on the other. A B&B in town or a nearby village lets you alternate sightseeing, markets and outings among vineyards and hills.
The districts of Puymin and La Villasse give an insight into the Roman town, with streets, houses and remains of everyday activities. The archaeological museum complements the visit with objects discovered during excavations. The ancient theatre also bears witness to this history. The Roman bridge, still standing over the Ouvèze, connects the two parts of town.
In the upper town, lanes and vaulted passages climb towards the remains of the castle of the Counts of Toulouse. Slopes and steps give this walk a different pace from visits to the lower town. Notre-Dame de Nazareth Cathedral and its cloister offer a closer look at Romanesque heritage.
Nearby, the cobbled lanes of Crestet lead to the church and the castle of the bishops of Vaison, above the vineyards. Séguret and Sablet provide further stops towards the Dentelles de Montmirail and the wine villages of the Rhône Valley.
Malaucène gives access to the northern side of Mont Ventoux, while Nyons extends discoveries towards Drôme Provençale. When choosing a property, base your stay around your planned outings: visits on foot in Vaison or excursions among villages and countryside.
Spring and autumn suit the ancient sites, walks and nearby villages. Summer is lively, with sometimes very hot days: favour mornings for outdoor visits. Outside the main season, check opening times for places you want to visit.
A property near the centre makes visits on foot easier. The areas around Séguret, Sablet, Crestet or Malaucène offer stays close to vineyards or hills. Consult the owner’s website to locate the property according to your main outings.
Yes. Concerts and performances are held there, particularly during the summer season. Check the programme for your travel dates and plan to book your chosen performance.
