Αξιοθέατα και μέρη για επίσκεψη Tulette - Top 20

Η δεύτερη μεγάλη ανασκαφή της Βαιζόν — από ψηλά φαίνεται το πολεοδομικό σχέδιο της αρχαίας πόλης, μεμονωμένες στήλες στέκονται ακόμα όρθιες. Η La Villasse ονομαζόταν παλαιότερα απλώς «η ερειπωμένη πόλη», το όνομα τα λέει όλα. Ένα ήρεμο αντίβαρο στην πιο τουριστική περιοχή Puymin.

Αυτή η απίστευτα όμορφη μεσαιωνική πόλη σίγουρα θα κατακλυστεί από τουρίστες κατά τη διάρκεια της ημέρας. Η συμβουλή μου είναι, λοιπόν, να ξεκινήσετε πολύ νωρίς. Πριν τις 8 το πρωί, η πόλη είναι σχεδόν μόνο για εσάς.

Υπάρχουν τόσα πολλά να δει κανείς στο Vaison la Romaine, από τους Ρωμαίους έως τον Μεσαίωνα, υπάρχει κάτι για όλους.

A beautiful old town, partly built over. Definitely worth a break and exploring on foot.

In Vaison-la-Romaine, "France's Most Beautiful Detour," discover a veritable open-air museum, featuring the largest Gallo-Roman site in France. The remains of some fifteen hectares, eight of which are open to the public and divided into two sites, Puymin and La Villasse, stretch at the foot of the medieval city, bearing witness to the past grandeur of the ancient city of Vasio. The walk around Puymin Hill takes you through a true district of the ancient city with cobbled streets, the shopping district, the "Nymphée" water tower made up of landscaped pools, the "Sanctuary of Porticoes" public monument framing a large colonnaded garden and rich patrician residences: the 2000 m² House of Apollo Laureate, perhaps the home of the Messii, Vasio's great family, with a dining room (triclinium), kitchen, private baths, toilets (latrines), and a large porticoed garden decorated with a pool and the 3000 m² House of the Arbor which was spread over 3 levels... For children: by following in the footsteps of young Lucius through a great mystery hunt, you and your family will discover the treasures of the Puymin archaeological site and the Théo Desplans Museum in Vaison-la-Romaine. Free activity booklet (available at the Museum) for children ages 6 to 12 who come to visit the sites with their families. Guided Tours: During school holidays, join a guided tour guide for 90-minute tours of the city's sites and monuments. Reservations: Call +33 4 90 36 50 48.

On the Roman Bridge, as your footsteps echo against the ancient stones, look up and be captivated by the majestic silhouette of the medieval city of Vaison-la-Romaine. You enter a world where the past comes to life before your eyes. The narrow cobbled streets and stone houses, seemingly frozen in time, instantly transport you to the 12th century, a time when the city was the scene of conflicts between the Count of Toulouse and the bishop. The ensuing looting prompted the population to abandon the valley in favor of the rocky heights. The fortified architecture of the old town bears witness to this turbulent era, with its imposing ramparts and fortified gates. Over the centuries, new buildings emerged in the valley, extending the history of the old town all the way to the Roman Bridge. However, it wasn't until the 19th century that the inhabitants of Vaison-la-Romaine turned to the lower town, gradually abandoning the old town. The medieval city, also called the Upper Town, is accessible after walking along the ramparts and the Belfry. The latter offers a picturesque panorama overlooking the city, dominated by the count's castle. In the past, access to this city was protected by emblematic gates such as the Old Gate, also known as the St. Quenin Gate, and the New Gate. These gates, true guardians of the city's security, closed every evening from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m., thus testifying to the importance placed on protecting residents from external threats. From the Old Market Square, where the Upper Town once flourished economically, admire the still-present remains of the wall that surrounded the Jewish quarter. The panoramic views of the valley and Mont Ventoux from the “Planet” add a touch of poetry to the medieval atmosphere of the cobbled streets, lined with old mansions and Comtat fountains.

Beautiful castle on a mountain top, constant view of Mont Ventoux

Beautiful route, with beautiful historic buildings!
