Vaison la Romaine is a lovely medieval town in the green heart of Vaucluse/Provence.
Mas la Petite Baye and Studio la Petite Baye lies just outside the centre of Vaison amidst vineyards on a small road which leads you within 2 minutes straight to the town centre.
From the terrace you can see the illuminated castle and the arena. Each summer there is a music/dance festival in the arena.
Vaison has a lot of history to tell; in the past century a roman town is discovered in the centre of Vaison. This old town is for a large portion digged up and can now be visited as an open air museum at daytime. In the evening you can go around for a candle lighted guided dinner tour.
The famous roman over the Ouveze river leads to the old medieval town, were you find the life as it was in former days; small well kept houses with romantic hidden away gardens. On top of the hill is the castle located. From this place you have beautiful views around. In the town centre are lots of typical French cafes, brassieres and all kinds of smart shops and art galleries. On Tuesday Vaison is crowded with regional people coming to sell regional food on the lively morning market, where you can see and smell the seasons!
The region is a heavenly place for wine lovers. Vaison lies amidst the famous vineyards of the Cote du Rhone Valley where you can find and taste the best Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, Vaqueras, Beaume de Venise, etc. right beside the roads.
More history and Provencal food can be enjoyed in Avignon (45 km), Orange (23 km), Aix en Provence (68 km), Marseille (120 km) and in all the lovely small towns in the region. It is only one hour and a half driving to the harbour/centre of Marseille and Cassis, one of the nicest beach villages.
