Vaison-la-Romaine, Archaeological site in Vaucluse, France.
The town spans across both banks of the Ouvèze River, featuring Roman ruins in the lower section and medieval structures on the hilltop.
The settlement evolved from a Celtic capital of the Vocontii tribe to become Vasio Julia Vocontiorum after the Roman conquest between 125-118 BC.
The Tuesday market tradition continues throughout the year, filling the streets with local products, textiles, and regional specialties from Provence.
The town hall, located at 6 cours Taulignan, operates extended hours on Thursdays from 8:00 to 17:00 without lunch break.
The Roman-era bridge crossing the Ouvèze River has withstood floods and continuous use since the first century AD.
