The main square of Vaison-la-Romaine is Place Montfort, seen below, a large, open square lined with terrace cafés, bars, restaurants and shops. Continue reading here for more on Vaison la Romaine’s interesting history, and of course, the mouthwatering details about Michel’s lunch at Bistro du’O (he says you won’t be disappointed).
