We marvel all the time about all of the Roman ruins we come across in our corner of Provence.<br /><br />Barbara - I think everyone who goes to one market on a regular basis has a favorite parking area. I wish we could have been at the market as well and hooked up for coffee at Festival. I hope your classes are going well.<br /><br />Sara - A trip to Vaison is definitely worth while especially if you have never been. Try to come on market day as I think this market is one of the best.<br /><br />Ashley - You should try to come up the third weekend of July to our area and hit the Journee des Livres and visit the Roman ruins in Vaison. Its definitely worthwhile.<br /><br />Joan - Thanks for checking out my blog and for leaving a comment. You must be in the heart of lavendar if I am clear about where you stay. We went to Nyons for the market for the first time a few weeks back. <br /><br />Tuula - Definitely worth the trip to visit Vaison. Besides the Roman ruins, there is also the medieval village, and lots and lots of great wine nearby.Michelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084254959003451085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821474047907384633.post-43138315038626498532012-04-27T22:10:10.066-07:002012-04-27T22:10:10.066-07:00Those Roman ruins are very well-preserved indeed. ...Those Roman ruins are very well-preserved indeed.

We're a Chicago family who has been renting the same house, located between Mirabel-aux-Baronnies and Nyons, in June for the past 20 years. We've been to Sablet/Seguret often and NEVER miss a Tuesday market in Vaison! Thanks for increasing my excitement. <br />Joanjmthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570787494191776559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821474047907384633.post-1529977198103077412012-04-25T05:39:20.417-07:002012-04-25T05:39:20.417-07:00Gorgeous pictures and the absolute perfect town fo...Gorgeous pictures and the absolute perfect town for me to visit! Lover of history and roman ruins, yup, that's me! We have plans this summer to be around your area. I want to go to the book fair, Gordes and this town as well. It should make for a fun summer trip!<br />AshleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821474047907384633.post-17259849445044410732012-04-24T23:06:50.387-07:002012-04-24T23:06:50.387-07:00The museum looks fantastic!

These look fantastic as do the ones quite close to us at Chassenon. The latter get bigger each time I go there. Although some may be covered by buildings, the main part was discovered in farmland which has made excavation much simpler. Great post.
