Art at the heart of Vaison-la-Romaine

I begin my artistic escapade in the picturesque alleyways of Vaison-la-Romaine, where contemporary art comes to life before my very eyes. I let myself be guided by the street art created by local artists, who amaze and inspire me at every turn. I let myself be surprised by the walls of this small Provencal town: along the stadium, in front of the art cinema or on the façade of the former grain silo at Moulin de César. The stroll through the town is dotted with works of art: from imposing sculptures by François Stahly and Raphaël Mognetti to intriguing installations by Laurent Tia, I’m enchanted by the creativity that drives the town.

The garden of the 9 damsels

Then it’s on to the Jardin des 9 Damoiselles, a magical place where poetry, philosophy and nature meet. Bordered by a peaceful bamboo grove and the Ouvèze river, this garden offers an immersive, contemplative experience, inviting you to daydream.

Between magic and art One step at a time

But my exploration doesn’t stop there. I immerse myself in the magnificent nature of the Toulourenc Valley, where land art trails are hidden in the heart of the Ventoux forest. In Savoillans and Saint-Léger-du-Ventoux, at the foot of the mountain’s northern slope, I’m surprised by the astonishing works of art that inhabit the area. On this nature walk, I literally immersed myself in a world of sensations, where the scents of the undergrowth enveloped me, and the bright colors of the blue-painted trees brightened my eyes. My imagination ran wild with the hanging veils, the mysterious glances that seemed to follow me, the strange creatures that populated my path.

Every discovery was a surprise: horns of plenty hidden among the leaves, secret doors concealed in the vegetation, or giant nests perched high in the trees. As luck would have it, I stumbled upon Jardin Singulier, a former forest house housing a bookshop and publishing house. It was as if art had given nature a new dimension, allowing me to perceive it from a totally different angle, imbued with magic and mystery.
