Riez la romaine

A village steeped in history

Hubert DENIES

Nestled between the Alps and Provence, the village of Riez lies at the heart of the Valensole Plateau. Built on a hillside at the confluence of three valleys, Riez la Romaine boasts Roman ruins that bear witness to its rich past. Notably, visitors can see granite columns, the remains of a temple, and a baptistery that is one of the few examples of early Christian architecture in Provence. The Middle Ages endowed the town with ramparts, of which two gates and a tower can still be admired today. Riez la Romaine offers you a true immersion in history. Make the most of your stay in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie to explore Riez-la-Romaine.
