Vaison la Romaine & Orange

Our first stop today were the Roman ruins at Vaison la Romaine.

 

 

 

 

 

A beautiful mosaic discovered here is preserved in the museum.

 

 

There is also a 6000 seat amphitheater.

 

 

And this Roman bridge which dates from the first century AD, has a 55 foot arch, and is still used today.

 

 

We then visited the 9000 seat amphitheater in Orange. This is the outside wall behind the stage.

 

 

This is the stage and the seating area.
