Land of Contrasts,
Land of Beauty

Carpentras lies between the Rhone river and the Durance, sheltered from the Mistral winds, in the rich and fertile plains of the Comtat Venaissin. Mont Ventoux towers over the landscape and the surrounding villages which bask in the southern sun. Carpentras has an idyllic geographical location, close to major roads, making it the ideal place to stay. Quality of life, ancestral traditions and savoir-faire, outstanding environmental quality, preserved nature, rich historical and architectural past left by the presence of the popes for over five centuries.


"A Carpentras, cité tranquille le mistral joue et farandole
Ses airs de danses comtadines sous les platanes centenaires
Qui regardent le Mont Ventoux…"


Pierre VAUSSAIS – automne 80
