sites archéologiques de vaison la romaine印象
-
The town of Vaison la Romaine has done a very good job of preserving its Roman history. The visitor strolls through the ruins of homes and commercial buildings. The well-preserved theater is still used today for an annual choral festival.The small museum is excellent; it has several very good statues, a lovely head of Venus, a beautiful floor mosaic, and interesting funeral monuments. It's a pleasure to sit in the grounds and imagine what life was like when people were wearing togas. The ancient Roman bridge in the town still crosses the narrow gorge, carrying traffic just as it did 2000 years ago.

This archeological site is basically right in the center of Vaison la Romaine, with much of the site still lying buried under the center of the city. There is a small but very interesting museum on one side of the main street. The theater is a fairly long walk through the woods behind the museum.

The size of the place is very impressive.But in fact, there is almost nothing to see inside.Gorgeous view from the roof of the turret, north - western side (follow the sign to the cafeteria).

The Roman ruins are pretty amazing. They are spread out over two locations just adjacent to the shopping area in town. The Museum is very nicely done and there are multi-lingual headsets available to tour the Museum and the grounds. Make time to see this place.

We walk down the steep hill past the Roman villa. It is a huge excavation covering many acres. This was a very large Roman settlement and excavation is still in progress.It is beautifully maintained like every thing we visit in France. The most beautiful cats everywhere walking amongst the ruins sleeping on the marble in the sun. i think they must be strays and a kitten that looked just like a pure bred Himalayan peeked between the marble pillars at us. After the loss of our very elderly darling little cat 2 weeks before our trip my heart is torn worrying if any one cared about the delightful little creature, but i could not get close enough to even take a pic. They were all well fed and looked healthy and I saw feeding bowls under trees so someone must look was looking after them.

There are a lot of excavated ruins you can see and wander through. Recommend the audio guide that is available from the museum. The museum was very well done. There was a very informative film that alternated showing in French and English. The film is shown in a room near the back of the museum. I recommend seeing it before touring the ruins since it provides a lot of useful background info. Most of historically valuable items found during excavation are located in the museum, so don't miss this.

The Roman ruins have been excavated over the course of several centuries, but what you see is only a small area of the original town as most lies buried under the present day city. The museum is small but has the important finds and good explanations, if you read French. There is an audio guide available in multiple languages. There is an admission charge but once inside you can freely wander through the walls that mark the various structures and climb the steps of the theater should like to get some exercise.

It was a pure pleasure to wander through the old stones and learn about romain history. They do a wonderful job and we go back every year to see the progress.

This archaeological site sits right in the village and demonstrates the transition of cultural heritage as the populations changed and advanced from the Gallo-Roman times to Roman to beyond. Definitely worthwhile. Loved it. Well interpreted.

We went round the Puymin quarter including the theatre and the museum during the afternoon of our first day and really enjoyed the guided tour. Little of the stonework you see in the villa and almost none of that in the theatre is original but the white marble statues, the silver bust and the peacock mosaic in the museum are and they are impressive.On the morning of the second day we, like your reviewer Joyce S, had difficulty in using our tickets to get through the turnstile into the Vilasse quarter and we too found a French couple in the same spot of bother. Our solution was to go back to the ticket office on the other side of the road where they gave us the code to get in through the gate reserved for disabled visitors.There was less to see on the Vilasse side but our walk round was enlivened by a school visit with excellent interpretation of what it was like to be a Romana citizen, high born or slave from a guide.The archaeological sites of Vaison are modest compared to those of Arles, Nimes, Orange and the Pont du Gard, but the town as a whole is well worth a detour when you take in the Roman bridge, the medieval quarter and the cathedral.
