    You can of course visit the excavations. You can also get a good overview if you follow the footpath below the field. It's higher and you can see down well

      The largest French archaeological excavation site is located in Vaison-la-Romaine. The archaeological remains that can be visited today date from the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.


      Based on the size of the public buildings, to the extent that they were able to be excavated, it can be concluded that the city had an area of around 60 to 70 hectares in Roman times. The amphitheater was carved into the northern slope of the rock of Puymim Hill and could accommodate around 5,000 to 6,000 spectators (Wikipedia).
