They were so interesting, especially everyone's personal/family experience visiting--or wanting to visit--Roman ruins. <br />I am fortunate to live in Vaison la Romaine, which has the largest archeological site in France, so I can enjoy ancient Rome on a daily basis. But I better buy this book so I can appreciate them even more.<br /><br />Sharon deRham<br />sderham@sonic.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086987595843113662.post-36315590447737540542012-10-15T16:08:12.682+02:002012-10-15T16:08:12.682+02:00There is hardly a day when we are leading tours he...There is hardly a day when we are leading tours here in Provence that we don't talk about the Provence's Roman history.

There is a beautiful convent building at the end of our street that used to house the Little Sisters of the Poor and is now the Science Po university (in Aix en Provence) and when they renovated the entrance they found roman ruins, it was fascinating to walk past them every day to see and wonder what clues they had found to a previous life and set of events, right in our street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086987595843113662.post-89888429063702490612012-10-07T18:11:32.668+02:002012-10-07T18:11:32.668+02:00Julie, please count me in.

Our ten-year old is also very interested in the Romans and keeps hoping to find pottery in the garden or on walks with his dog. Looks like we need to win or buy this book!

This year we returned with 11 family and friends to show them what we had seen as the area is full of history. It has become a 'thing' between my husband and I to comment..."God those Romans got around!" when travelling in Europe. Of note in the last couple of years have been the Roman aqueduct in Segovia Spain, the ancient city of Jerash in Jordan (there were many many places in Jordan) and of course the Roman Forum in Rome itself. The book looks fantastic and would love to read it. jo@jotilley.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716645174615540011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086987595843113662.post-65615798183297483312012-10-03T02:28:49.673+02:002012-10-03T02:28:49.673+02:00I just finished a tour with guests to the area aro...I just finished a tour with guests to the area around Mt Ventoux,staying near Crestet. As we passed the old roman bridge in Vaison la Romaine I was explaining to one American guest that the bridge was about 2000 years old and built by the Romans. He just couldn't get his head around the fact that the bridge was ACTUALLY physically built by the romans - rather than in the roman style -and thought I was pulling his leg. How delightful it is to come across antiquities at nearly every turn in Provence. It's where my heart is.<br />info@picnicsinprovence.comNikki Maxwellhttp://www.picnicsinprovence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5086987595843113662.post-48366175186170815282012-10-03T02:22:28.102+02:002012-10-03T02:22:28.102+02:00About 10 years from now, my wonderful daughter (wh...About 10 years from now, my wonderful daughter (who is just starting her college career at Purdue and hopes to be accepted to their veterinary school so she can earn her doctor of veterinary medicine and then a specialty in neurology) plans on sending me and my cousin to France as a thank you for supporting her and helping her make her dreams come true!
