City/town information
Our nearest town, Vaison-la-Romaine is famous for its many antiquities, and the day ticket to the museum and sites is very good value. There is a large market on Tuesdays, and a smaller producteurs market on Saturdays.
All of the major supermarkets can be found there, as well as bakeries, pharmacies, and a good tourist office.
