Vienne

Vienne is best known within Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes for its Roman theatre, an enduring stage above the Rhône. Ancient Vienna was a significant urban centre of Roman Gaul, and its surviving Temple of Augustus and Livia stands in the modern town centre. Across the river, the Saint-Romain-en-Gal archaeological site and museum preserves remains of the Roman settlement, giving the city’s past a concrete setting. Each summer, the theatre hosts Jazz à Vienne, an established festival that brings contemporary music into this classical monument.
