Vaison la Romaine

Roman remnants dominate Vaison la Romaine. We visited this plaza is in the centre ville, the daily food market is across the street.
The 11th century chateau built up from the limestone outcrop stands at the highest point in the valley. These builders were ingenious in their methods of tying in massive structure to the outcrops.
