The Gallo-Roman city

Numerous archaeological remains bear witness to the storied past of Vienna, which became a rich and powerful Roman city in 66 BCE. The Temple of Augustus and Livia, in the heart of the city, is a must for history lovers and culture aficionados. They will also not want to miss the Roman roads, the Odeon, and above all, the amphitheater-the largest in the Roman province of Gaul after that of Autun, in Burgundy-which remains remarkably well preserved and can accommodate up to 7,500 people.

Textile Industry Museum

While Vienna is renowned for its ancient and medieval monuments, the city is perhaps less well known for its industrial history-although it is rich and fascinating. For more than two centuries, the city was the epicenter for the production of woolen material and Renaissance fabrics. With its collection of antiquated equipment, some of which is still in operation, the textile industry museum puts the spotlight firmly back on the city's craftsmanship, a little-known but essential stop on the famous Silk Road.

Explore the ViaRhôna by Segway

The ViaRhôna is a cycle route that runs along the Rhône, from Lake Geneva all the way to the Mediterranean, via Vienna. Discover the most beautiful landscapes of the region, aboard a fun and ecological electric vehicle: the Segway. During a one-hour journey-or perhaps a longer circuit that takes in the Côte-Rôtie vineyards-you will pass through delightfully well-preserved, verdant locations, completely off the beaten track. Enjoy this experience as a couple, with friends or as a family.
