Vaison-la-Romaine, whose famed Roman Bridge dates to the first century A.D., is in the heart of the lush Côtes-du-Rhône wine region, considered by some the most beautiful and picturesque part of Provence. Vaison is known throughout the region for its colorful open-air market every Tuesday, and for its summer arts festivals featuring dance and choral groups from all over the world. Because of its proximity to Mont Ventoux, the highest peak in Provence, Vaison is a frequent stop on the Tour de France.
