Roman carving at Vaison La Romain

Thursday, May 17, 2012 - 21:35

Vaison La Romain, a wonderful market town with a population of about 6,500 persons, is very close to my heart and I visit there a lot. The town is situated in the Vaucluse region of France about 45 minutes north of Avignon - great Rhone wines - Gigondas, Sablet etc. - not far from Chateauneuf du Pap and Beaumes-de-Venise. www.vaison-la-romaine.com However, wines are not what I want to discuss here today. Today it's roman carving - the real stuff that we still copiously copy over two thousand years later.
