                                                               VAISON ROMAIN

We arrived into Vaison Romain late in the afternoon and parked the car outside the town and walked into it.  You get two villages for the price of one:  Vaison la Romain's "modern" lower City has worthwhile Roman Ruins which we did not have enough time to see, a lone pedestrian street, and a lively main square and a Cafe.  The car-free medieval hill town looms above with meandering cobbled lanes, a dash of art galleries and cafes, and a ruined castle with a fine view from it's base.  The city is split in two by the Ouveze River.  The Roman Bridge connects the more modern lower town (Ville-Basse) with the hill-capping medieval upper town.  Really there was nothing of particular  importance of the upper part of the village that we walked around but to see a fortified medieval old town, pretty cobbled lanes and a enchanting fountains to photograph.  I'm glad we got to experience it but wished we would have had time to see the Roman Ruins but maybe if there is a next time!
