After an extremely lazy morning, I spent the afternoon in Vaison-la-Romaine with Carrie, Mary, and Nate. In this village located not very far from Montélimar, there are Roman ruins as well as a medieval fortress. We only had a few hours to spend so we concentrated on the Roman sites. I guess I'll just have to come back when I've got more time.
On the way there, we pulled over at a rest stop, and this is the view that we had.

My favorite sculpture in the museum

We overheard some American teenagers say, "This stuff is all broken!"
I like historic sites where kids can touch everything and climb and have fun like this. These structures have been around for thousands of years so I don't think that we can break them.
The ruins of the Roman village are on two sides of a modern road. They are the most extensive ones I've seen outside of Morocco.
The Roman theatre was getting ready for the Fête de la Musique while we were there.
