The Provence is a region that combines art and history. Many elements remind us of the historical heritage of the old Roman civilization.

Vaison-la-Romaine is located in the Haut Vaucluse. Its historical site reveals Gallo-Roman homes in all their splendor: marble, mosaics, statues, atriums and private baths.

In Orange the Roman civilization is represented by the majestically 3 arches Arch of Triumph and the famous antique Theater: the most beautiful and the best conserved of the whole antique world.

An other important city in the Roman empire was Arles. The arena, still in use for bullfights, the antique theater, the Alyscamps burial grounds are all Roman monuments that should be seen.

Nimes is situated not far from Arles. Centuries of Roman life have left an exceptional heritage in this city. The arena has nearly the same proportions as the one in Arles.
An old temple, now called “La Maison Carrée”  (the square house), is an example of the Greek influence on the Roman architecture.

Saint Rémy-de-Provence is famous for its old  rich city of Glanum, entirely destroyed by the invasions of Barbarians, except for two splendid monuments: a Mausoleum and an Arch.
Together they are called: “The Antiques”. These cities are the most famous and best known of the ancient remains in Provence, but all around, many other monuments show us traces of the old civilization: bridges, aqueducts, sarcophagus...
