Vaison-la-Romaine
Vaison-la-Romaine is a town in Vaucluse, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, 28 km northeast of Orange.
Capital of a Celtic tribe defeated by the Romans, it became one of the wealthiest cities in the Narbonne province after an alliance with Julius Caesar.
In the Middle Ages, the Count of Toulouse built a castle on a rocky outcrop, and a second city, surrounded by ramparts and safer for its inhabitants, grew up.
Vaison-la-Romaine now comprises an upper and lower town, where ancient remains rub shoulders with contemporary urban extensions, and has preserved a rich heritage spanning more than 2,000 years of history.
