Things to see and do Vaucluse

These two travellers put their suitcases in this small village and opened the doors of their workshop, which grew gradually with the help of the town hall.

A huge limestone mass above, which served as protection for the city during its construction and its development... In the sixties, excavations have unearthed a human occupation from the Neolithic period, as evidence, a stele engraved with a face, called "the first Avignon." The Rocher des Doms rises above a beautiful garden of the same name. The view that is offered from the terrace is breath-taking: one distinguishes the Mont Andaon on which the majestic Fort Saint-André stands - by moving its gaze to the left - the Philippe Le Bel Tower of Villeneve-lez-Avignon.

It is the only vestige (12th century) of the castle of the Counts of Toulouse fell into the lap of the terrible Maingre that reigned terror in the Mont Ventoux area in the 15th century. Watchtower at the time of the Popes, then the clock and bell with wrought iron were added, and that were supposed to represent the silhouette of Queen Jeanne, wife of the brother of Saint Louis. At top is a weather vane depicting a mouse chased by a cat. It gave birth to two Pernois sayings: "It is high as the cat of Pernes" and "it is in the middle like the cat of Pernes". This old dungeon also hosted the prisons of the city. The gallows still stands. They can be seen during a guided tour within the tourist office). You can access a panoramic terrace offering stunning views of the countryside and comtadine of Mount Ventoux, by taking a lovely calade and a rather steep staircase!
