Origin and history

The archaeological complex of Vaison-la-Romaine is a historical site classified as Historic Monument, located in the commune of Vaison-la-Romaine, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. This site includes major archaeological remains, including shops, a sanctuary and the Paon villa, which illustrate the importance of this city during Roman antiquity. These elements, protected by ministerial decree, are located on the cadastral plot AN 214 and belong to the commune.

The location of the site is estimated with an accuracy considered fair (note of 5/10), and it is referenced in the Merimée database under the code Insee 84137, corresponding to the department of Vaucluse. Although GPS coordinates indicate an approximate address (5561 La Haute Ville), the site remains a major point of interest for understanding urban planning and daily life in a Gallo-Roman city. No specific information on construction periods or specific historical events is available from the sources consulted.

The site is now owned by the municipality of Vaison-la-Romane. The available data do not specify whether the site is open to visitors or whether it offers services such as room rental or bed and breakfast. The sources mentioned include Monumentum and internal data, but they do not provide additional details on the history or contemporary uses of the monument.
