This is the only remaining item of the castle built by Guillaume de Forcalquier in the twelfth century. A bell tower has been added to it long ago to give it a campanil. Today, it is on the Mirabeau Square and houses the tourism office. It was initially just a fortified tower. External threats multiplied, Guillaume Roger du Turenne built a real castle (15th century century) with a dungeon, main building, rectangular enclosure and ditches of protection. This fortress was demolished in 1596. The tower will be converted into a belfry in 1605.

This theater was built in the ^1st century AD. Proof of this is the marble statue of Tiberius found in front of the royal gate. It has, of course, been protected as a historical monument since 1862. It's one of the few public buildings in the city that still retains the splendor of Roman times. Imagine, all along the stage wall, imperial statues and divinities facing over 6,000 spectators! Mimes and pantomimes were performed in the Roman style. Now restored, it hosts numerous shows as part of the Vaison Festivals, the International Dance Festival, the Choralies... there's no shortage of events.

Here's an enchanting stroll through the Perrache forest for kids. Discovering and understanding nature through interpretive panels and playful sculptures is a great incentive for young children. And so it should be, since this is the culmination of work carried out by the Bédouin nursery school and the Mazan secondary school. Follow Tilou and Marcou and get to know the remarkable beech tree, chat with the red squirrel, better understand the wolf. Observation is at the heart of this one-hour hike. We decipher footprints, dig beneath the leaves, look up into the treetops. These are gestures that pitchouns will never forget.

The trail starts right by the bakery. And if the first few hundred meters are a bit of a struggle, you'll soon be surprised by the first works to grace the undergrowth. Since 2013, thanks to the participation of international artists in residence, the forest has been enriched by new creations every year. Scents, colors and materials are added to the richness of nature, which is already so beautiful.

Whether it's a crush, a smile or a surprise, let your emotions run wild for 1h30. Along the same path, a reconstructed charcoal kiln (a mound of cut wood from which charcoal was made) tells a little of the past history of the inhabitants of this mountainside.
