These two travellers put their suitcases in this small village and opened the doors of their workshop, which grew gradually with the help of the town hall. They produce a work with four very powerful hands whose permanent theme is the human condition. And attention to shock is often very strong, no one can remain indifferent.

Found in the Jesuit chapel, the Lapidaire Museum has some collections of Greek, Etruscan, Roman, Gallo-Roman and Egyptian arts from the Calvet museum. It has recently been refurbished to permit the public to see some articles that have been preserved for more than fifty years, while waiting for the creation of a room dedicated to Antiquity. You can discover several chapels dedicated to the Greek collections, including monumental vases and an exceptional collection of funerary steles and votive reliefs, from the excavations undertaken by the Fondation Calvet in Vaison-la-Romaine 1838-1852. The baroque chapel and its stone decor are also worth a visit. A Greek chapel was opened in 2013 with the presentation of Corinthian and Attic vases, classic and Hellenistic terra-cottas from Asia Minor, Egypt, Greece and Magna Graecia. Among the latter, figures a beautiful male head that was part of a statue that dates from the first half of the third century BC.

In the cobbled and vaulted cellars of this beautiful mansion of the 16th century, Hôtel de Brancas, you will discover an amazing collection of fifty bikes, from the velocipede of 1870 to the bike Paris-Beijing 2008, through the historical tandem of the first paid holidays in 1936. In the city that saw the birth of the famous Vélocio (Paul de Vivie, 1853-1930), brilliant inventor and figure of bicycle touring which significantly contributed to the improvement of cycles (detachable hubs, shifting of speed, equiangular frames, ...), Musée Comtadin du Cycle is of course a must-see!
