Did you know?

The roots of the Vaison-la-Romaine market date back to 1483, when Pope Sixtus IV officially authorised a weekly market in the town. This tradition was confirmed in 1532 by Pope Clement VII, who set Tuesday as the definitive market day. For more than five centuries, this not-to-be-missed event has enlivened the town every Tuesday, without exception – come rain or shine, or even when the Tour de France passes through!
