Roman Provence
Roman Provence – a genuine view of Roman towns
Apart from the remains of Roman roads, many buildings have come down through the centuries and offer us authentic views of the lay-out and everyday life of Roman towns. The finest examples from this Roman Era are Orange and Vaison-la-Romaine.
Roman Provence, an ‘absolute must’ destination during your stay
The Roman town of Orange has over two thousand years of history which can be seen at its ancient theatre, famous for its ‘Chorégie’ festival, its Arc de Triomphe and the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire which is housed in a 17th century mansion and features a Gallo-Roman section and a section devoted to the history of Orange from prehistory to the present day.
What’s more, the town is surrounded by prestigious wine-growing areas like Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas !
Continue your tour of Roman Provence at Vaison la Romaine, an ancient, prosperous Roman town where the remains of sumptuous houses and buildings with quality decors can still be seen today. Attractions include the ancient theatre, famous for its Choralies festival, and the open-air Gallo-Roman museum, which is the largest in surface area in France (open every day from 01/02 to 31/12).
