Bédarrides is a commune in the Vaucluse department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
As Vindalium, it was the site of the August 8, 121 BC, defeat of the Allobroges and Arverni under Bituitus by Roman legions under Q. Fabius Maximus and Gn. Domitius Ahenobarbus. This led to the establishment of the Roman province of Transalpine Gaul.
