The bridge in the town of Vaison-la-Romaine led up to the medieval quarter. It's worth the time to explore if you've got good knees- it's steep. The market in the town is extensive and authentic French for the main. Go early as it closes around 1pm. We went on a Tuesday but check the market days before you head out.
