All three categories have a shower, a toilet and heating. Tiled or marble flooring and storage space complete the room facilities. Room sizes range from 16 to 32 m²; the suite is the largest of the three categories.

Vaison-la-Romaine is set in Haut-Vaucluse, between the Ouvèze valley and the slopes of Mont Ventoux. The town brings together a medieval upper town, old lanes and a significant Roman heritage. Visitors come for its remains, its Provençal market and its vineyard and olive grove landscapes. The surrounding area appeals to both heritage enthusiasts and those looking to explore country roads on foot or by bike.

The Roman Bridge links the two sides of the town and leads towards the lanes of the upper town. The archaeological sites of Puymin and La Villasse display the remains of the ancient Roman city; the ancient theatre still hosts performances. Notre-Dame de Nazareth Cathedral and its cloister bear witness to Vaison’s medieval history. Further afield, the villages of Entrechaux and Crestet have stone lanes and views over the hills. Mont Ventoux dominates hiking routes and roads popular with cyclists. A car makes it easier to visit the region’s villages and wine estates.

Spring and autumn are good times for exploring on foot and visiting vineyards, when temperatures are milder. In summer, days are hot and cultural events take place at historic sites; it is best to plan outdoor visits for the morning. A day can combine Roman remains, the Vaison market and an excursion to the landscapes around Ventoux. In late summer, the grape harvest also brings a different rhythm to the area’s wine-growing villages.
