Further afield you have Orange, Nimes, the Pont du Gard and Arles.

Going further back, how about visiting Le Pegue, the archeological museum dedicated to the celts and the greeks in Valreas. See http://museearcheoloepegue.com.

The collection comes from an archeological dig at Saint-Marcel from 1956 – 1985. The dig found the traces from 6000 years ago, and an abundance of remains from the Iron Age (725 bc). The museum is open saturday and sunday 14.00 – 18.00 the first weekend of each month in the winter; and everyday 14.00 – 18.00 except Wednesday June – September.
