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!

Superb course 🏔️! Please note that part of the hike takes place on private land with hunting trips organized on certain days 🐗🐺(please inquire beforehand). 🚨I strongly advise against the company of a four-legged animal 🐶to accompany you as well as young children🐣. The trail is largely marked but lacks maintenance at the end of the route (we were navigating using the iPhone and we hesitated several times). Three technical passages are made easier thanks to equipment fixed to the mountainside but these remain dangerous ⚠️. Ideally start the route in the morning and not in the middle of the afternoon and also bring water 💦 (in short, don't do this in a hurry) Have a good walk everyone

The Château de Suze-la-Rousse is a 12th century medieval fortress with a 15th century Renaissance courtyard. It was transformed in the 16ᵉ then in the 18ᵉ century into a large residence in which it is possible to admire the paintings, stuccoes and plasterwork of the salons. The museography is dedicated to the history of the castle and to the world of vines and wine since it houses the University of Wine.

Vaison-la-Romaine is a town nestled in the heart of the Vaucluse region. It is renowned for its rich historical and cultural heritage, especially its ancient Roman roots. The town is divided into two distinct areas: the upper town, perched on a hill and crowned by a medieval castle, and the lower town.

Built on a rocky outcrop, the medieval fortress of Suze-la-Rousse is a spectacular military structure protected by towers and a wall. In the 16th and 18th centuries it was converted into a large manor house. The severity of the external defenses, which tower over the fortified village, are contrasted by the Renaissance facades of the main courtyard and the interior richness of the paintings, stucco work and plasterwork in the living rooms (source: https://www.chateaux-ladrome.fr/fr/chateau -de-suze-la-rousse).
